Nat Hentoff
The media ignores what is really going on.
Nat Hentoff
I wish [my wife] would [work] because - especially now the kind of - I mean, honesty is hardly the word. She writes with a ferocity of clarity that - nobody else around has now.
Nat Hentoff
I read like everybody - like every other writer.
Nat Hentoff
Now that is dangerous, when the people don't know what's happening to their Constitution.
Nat Hentoff
Americans have only the dimmest notion of what their constitutional freedoms are - and what it took to get them...[and] the willingness to surrender what we're supposed to be fighting for is a recurring part of our history.
Nat Hentoff
I've never met anybody quite like [Bill Shawn]. He created - and I'm sure it was conscious - an aura about him of quietude.
Nat Hentoff
