husband interesting advice
Last week I did a piece for Style on advice to Laura Bush about how to help her husband. This week it's religion. It just depends on what I find interesting at the moment.
people
Most of the people who live in Washington come from other places and you can learn something from them.
position-of-power people house
Often what we do is open our house for various charity events. I don't seat according to protocol. I don't invite people because of who they are in the administration or their positions of power. The few who do come, are there because I like them.
terrorist unprepared
How unprepared we are for a terrorist attack.
imagine newspapers junkie
We're newspaper junkies; I can't imagine life without a newspaper.
religious party wine
Funny you mention my dinner parties when I have just suggested that inviting close friends over to share a meal with candlelight and wine at your table could be a form of religious experience for some people. To me its a form of sacrament.
motivation ambition people
The primary motivation in the world of television is fear. People are scared to death. Ambition and enthusiasm and interest and the desire to excel are secondary. Because fear is an enormous motivating force, many in the medium are afraid to make decisions, take chances, do anything innovative.
people feelings world
My feeling is that a newspaper should serve its readers and it just seems to me that given what is going in the world, people are hungry for something.
running climbing two
Social climbing and power climbing -- the two are often synonymous -- are what make Washington run. ... If there are more than two people together, if there are three, one of them is climbing.
writing government interesting
... Washington is, for one thing, the news capital of the world. And for another, it is a company town. Most of the interesting people in Washington either work for the government or write about it.
sports football pain
The football season is like pain. You forget how terrible it is until it seizes you again.
religious writing serious
Newspapers don't write enough about serious religious issues.
wine home lunch
I had cottage cheese for lunch and a glass of wine when I got home tonight.
mother religious father
I was brought up by an Episcopalian father and Presbyterian mother in nondenominational Army chapels all over the world and never really had much religious experience.
