“On the lawn at the villa—
That’s the way to start, eh, reader?
We know where we stand—somewhere expensive—”

“Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”

“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
