There's Never A Perfect Bipartisan Bill In The Eyes Of A Partisan.

So Much Of Modern Politics Is Focused Not On Honest Differences Of Policy But On Personal Attacks.

When I First Came To Washington In The 1960s, Even At The Height Of The Vietnam War, Until The End There In '68 There Was A Certain Climate Of Cooperation.

And I Just Hate It.

I Love The Book Signings, You Know, Because I Get To Talk To Real People, And A Staggering Number Of People Have Said Something Very Specific To Me.

One Man At 50 Years Of Age Got His College Degree.
