What Apple did for technology is brilliant, but they didn't do anything for our economy.

The natural idealism of youth is an idealism, alas, for which we do not always provide as many outlets as we should.

We know that, sooner or later, reckless government actions and policies have consequences. That when government corrupts the truth and breaks faith with the American people, the entire fabric of our...

I wanted to write as well as I possibly could to deal with life-and-death problems in contemporary society. And the form of Wilkie Collins and Graham Greene, of Hammett and Chandler, seemed to offer...
