I Feel Like I Delivered A Blow,

I Fooled Some Of The Most Brilliant People In Journalism.

I Can't Say Anything Other Than The Fact That I Feel A Range Of Emotions Including Guilt, Shame, Sadness, Betrayal, Freedom And Appreciation For Those Who Have Stood By Me, Been Tough On Me, And Have Taken The Time To Understand That There Is A Deeper Story And Not To Believe Everything They Read In The Newspapers.

It's Hard To Say What Role Race Really Played In My Case.

I Think People Can Learn From My Experience - You Know, Any Young People Who Are Under Pressure, Whether You Work On Wall Street Or You Work In A Factory In Alabama, And Young Journalists.

I Don't Know How One Would Define An Affirmative-action Hire. I Ultimately Do Not Know What Role Race Played In My Hiring.
