We have entered a time when a writer's first idea is his best idea, when the first thing a reporter hears is the first thing that she reports.

The quality of life in America is dependent on the quality of the journalism. Most people don't realize that, but if you think about it, journalism is one of the pillars on which our society is perched.

Science doesn't care, by and large, what the answers are. It's only interested in getting the right answer. And journalism should be very much that way.
