The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot functi...on without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The great pines stand at a considerable distance from each other. Each tree grows alone, murmurs alone, thinks alone. They do not ...intrude upon each other. The Navajos are not much in the habit of giving or of asking help. Their language is not a communicative one, and they never attempt an interchange of personality in speech. Over their forests there is the same inexorable reserve. Each tree has its exalted power to bear.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

This thought is as a death, which cannot choose But weep to have that which it fears to lose.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
