Der Krieg, der seit dem 11. September gegen den Terror geführt wird, belastet die Demokratie selbst, da sie meist im Verborgenen mit Mitteln geführt wird, die sowohl am Gesetz als auch an der Moral liegen. Demokratien haben sich jedoch als fähig erwiesen, die heimliche Machtausübung unter Kontrolle zu halten.

I think about the question of perspective in reporting all the time, and since I spent 20 years of my career in Washington as both a reporter and an editor I'm keenly aware that a newspaper should not be dominated by stories in which the only voices and perspective come from those in power.

Owners, the way they blackballed me from baseball, the way they used me, in a sense, and then the way they wanted to send a signal to the other players, saying, you know, we're going to get Jose Canseco out of the game. This is a cue or a message for you other guys to stop using steroids because the owners lost total control of the steroid use.

Sometimes, the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows, because she is so comfortable with herself.
