writing years two
And after about two years, I realized that creative writing was not going to help you ace those biological tests. So I switched over to journalism. I didn't graduate with honors, but I did graduate on time and with some doing.
christmas thanksgiving football
The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game. It's part of our culture like turkey at Thanksgiving and lights at Christmas, and like those holidays beyond their meaning, a factor in our economy.
mean literature life-is
They've asked me to do this temporarily. I don't know what temporarily means. Life is temporary.
thinking people vietnam
Had there been a reporter along with Lieutenant Calley when he massacred those people in Vietnam, I think that probably wouldn't have happened.
art writing able
I always thought writing was the foundation and the basis for journalism in the same way being able to draw is the foundation for art.

war iraq half
The Iraq war was fought by one-half of one percent of us. And unless we were part of that small group or had a relative who was, we went about our lives as usual most of the time: no draft, no new taxes, no changes. Not so for the small group who fought the war and their families.
jobs thinking journalism
I can't think of any other job in journalism where the newsmakers come to you.
hurt thinking people
Well, you know, in any political campaign, you're gonna have people on one side that are gonna slip a reporter something because they think it'll hurt the guy on the other side.
public-relations trump relation
Good policy always trumps bad public relations. And the best PR can't trump bad policy.
football long-ago games
The truth is the Super Bowl long ago became more than just a football game.
matter miserable enjoy
But if you don't enjoy doing something, you'll be miserable no matter how much money you make.
