tired writing should-have
I was way too hyperactive to study for long. I would freak out, then crash, then be too tired to read or write. I really should have had less sugar.
book writing past
As the great philosopher George Santayana would have said, 'those who cannot remember the past . . . should simply read Jan Van Meter's Tippecanoe and Tyler Too.' Van Meter's greatest hits collection of slogans is the catchiest ever retelling of American history. It's like the greatest minds of Madison Avenue sat down to write a history book. They don't make sound bites like they used to!

George W. Bush and Al Gore are doing foreign-language tv ads. Two men who say very little in English are now saying absolutely nothing in Spanish.
daily difficult family news tv vicious
It has been difficult on my family -- my 8-year-old daughter, Sally. You know how vicious second-graders can be about the Daily News TV column.
character color content jackson judged light michael needs
I think that Michael Jackson needs to be judged on the content of his character, not on the bleached mocha latte light color of his skin.
game guy risk ruining
It addresses a life-long concern, the risk of someone ruining your game. I just don't want you, 50 years down the road, to have your game killed by some guy with a shinier walker.
edge sort
I think I've always sort of been conflicted and on the edge of something. I don't think I could do what I do if I wasn't on the edge.
