I made it clear when the Barclays took over the ‘Telegraph’ that I wanted no editorial position there. There is no way I could take a high-level editorial position at the papers. I have my work for the BBC, and that would be compromised if I did.

One by one, all of my college buddies had taken these nothing-special entry-level jobs, pushing papers for $18,000 or $21,000 a year (and hating the work besides), and I’d turn up my nose and tell them I wasn’t about to get out of bed for anything less than $50,000. That was my line, my attitude.
Bill Rancic
Our country, if you read the ‘Federalist Papers,’ is about disagreement. It’s about pitting faction against faction, divided government, checks and balances. The hero in American political tradition is the man who stands up to the mob – not the mob itself.
Jonah Goldberg
In Turkey, there are no ‘refugee camps.’ There are Turkish ‘temporary protection shelters.’ The Kurdis had no papers, no UNHCR refugee designations, and no passports, and therefore did not qualify for exit visas.

Ben Eine
I’ve been a Mac guy for almost my entire adult life. I wrote my first college papers on a typewriter, but by the end of my freshman year – almost 20 years ago – I was on an IBM PC. Then, in 1984, I found the Mac, and I never looked back.

There is a lot of learned material written about nationalism – scholarly books and papers, histories of it, theories of it – but most of us understand that nationalism, at its heart, at its very deepest roots, is about a feeling of superiority: We are better than you. Our country is better than your country.
