A Lot Of Times When People Are

I've Been To The White House A Number Of Times.

Washington Was A Typical American. Napoleon Was A Typical Frenchman, But Lincoln Was A Humanitarian As Broad As The World. He Was Bigger Than His Country - Bigger Than All The Presidents Together.

When I Look At What A Writer Owes To The Reader, It's Critical To Know That Everything You're Writing About Is Not Made Up In Your Head. I Feel That Unless You Can Document And Be Certain About What It Is That You're Writing About, The Reader Is Going To Lose Faith In Your Own Integrity.

I've Chosen To Be A Commentator And An Analyzer Of Politics, Rather Than An Actual Doer Of It. I Think It Could Have Gone The Other Way, But I'm Not Sorry That It Didn't, Because This Made It Easier To Be Home With My Kids And To Spend Time With Them. Writing You Can Do Right In Your House. You Don't Have To Go Anywhere.

I Shall Always Be Grateful For This Curious Love Of History, Allowing Me To Spend A Lifetime Looking Back Into The Past, Allowing Me To Learn From These Large Figures About The Struggle For Meaning For Life.
