[Arthur Koestler] wrote some other very interesting books, but that book - I mean, if I were teaching, I don't care what the course is, I would say you really have to read Darkness at Noon.
Nat Hentoff
A particular moment - and I'm not, to this day, quite sure how I feel about it - I had always wanted to be in the law books - you know, Hentoff vs. something or other.
Nat Hentoff
[Barack] Obama has little, if any, principles except to aggrandize and make himself more and more important.
Nat Hentoff
I'd pick - my father would bring home about six newspapers. We had 10 in Boston at the time.
Nat Hentoff
The whole politically correct movement, if it - if that's what it is, was spawned by liberals. So I try to avoid categorizing myself.
Nat Hentoff
