• No se trató de un atentado perpetrado por un pistolero lobo solitario mentalmente trastornado. No fue un atentado "no islámico" perpetrado por un grupo de matones: se oyó a los autores gritar que estaban vengando al Profeta Muhammad. Tampoco fue espontáneo. Fue planeado para causar el máximo daño, durante una reunión de personal, con armas automáticas y un plan de huida. Se diseñó para sembrar el terror, y en eso ha funcionado.

• Ayer, John McCain dijo que si es presidente se enfrentará, y cito textualmente, "a la red de viejos amigos de Washington". No me lo estoy inventando. Se trata de alguien que lleva veintiséis años en el Congreso, que puso a siete de los más poderosos grupos de presión de Washington al frente de su campaña. Y ahora nos dice que es él quien va a enfrentarse a la vieja red de chicos. ¿La vieja red de chicos? En la campaña de McCain eso se llama reunión de personal. ¡Vamos!

• There is no reason to believe that the people who staff the managerial and professional positions in our service institutions are any less qualified, any less competent or honest, or any less hard-working than the men who manage businesses. Conversely, there is no reason to believe that business managers, put in control of service institutions, would do better than the 'bureaucrats'. Indeed, we know that they immediately become bureaucrats themselves.

• Si tuviera una plantilla de una sola persona, o pudiera tolerar un pequeño hábito a las anfetaminas, o contemplar la posibilidad de transfusiones de sangre semanales, o hubiera estado casado con Vera Nabokov, o tuviera un ama de llaves con unas capacidades mínimas, sería más fácil llevar una vida literaria.

• What is absolutely true is that any good [Television] series has a specific voice. And I think that voice is almost exclusively the domain of the executive producer. . . .

• After the '57 initial meeting - I was up this way working, not as a staff person - there became the need for a much more definite organized office.
