are unlikely to devote a continuous half-hour or more to any one site the way you might read a traditional paper magazine in one sitting. |
I have always enjoyed the myth of The New Republic's golden age. The magazine is still very much in the Washington mix. It doesn't necessarily move the debate, but I think it can stir things up. |
No other nation obsesses about abortion the way we do. |
Once, I would drive across town if necessary [to buy a newspaper]. Today, I open the front door and if the paper isn't within about 10 feet I retreat to my computer and read it online. Only six months ago, that figure was 20 feet. Extrapolating, they will have to bring it to me in bed by the end of the year and read it to me out loud by the second quarter of 2007. |
That is worth keeping in mind while you try to decide whether American credibility or Iraqi prosperity or Middle East stability can justify the cost in blood and treasure. And don't forget to factor in the likelihood that the war will actually produce these fine things. |
That seemed like an insult, ... I guess it was. Even after that, I thought he maybe put it badly and he didn't mean to be sending out these go-away vibes. But it turns out he put it exactly right. |

The most embarrassing thing (in the Times' package) is that (Miller's editors) told her to stop writing about that but she kept writing about it, anyway. |
This agreement with America Online will introduce millions of additional people to the fastest way to get smart about the news and events of the week. |
Unless you do something aggressive (about housing) soon, you're going to get into trouble deeper and deeper, faster and faster. |
What did this guy do wrong? Was it having these views, or merely expressing them? Expecting journalists not to develop opinions, strong opinions even, goes against human nature and the particular nature of journalists. |
When one does all these things to increase the attractiveness of the place, does that not drive us toward a place where only the rich are able to take advantage of it? That was a concern of ours from the very beginning. The cause is what might be called non-price sensitive demand, people that can pay virtually anything. We were thinking ahead enough to realize it would get worse very quickly. We started thinking about this in '75. It may be the most aggressive affordable housing in the country. It wasn't enough. |
