I tell my students, even if you are an opinion journalist, your opinion should be based on facts.

When you get older, two things happen to you. You begin to lose your hearing, and I forget what the other one is.

As is well known, 'McCarthyism' was an alleged focus of political evil in the 1950s: Accusations of Communist taint, without factual basis; bogus lists of supposed Communists who never existed; failure in the end to produce even one provable Communist or Soviet agent, despite his myriad charges of subversion.

Decisions should be based on facts, objectively considered.

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts…it is to teach them to think.

If you are any kind of writer at all, you are in all of your writings.
