...Washington Times is the paper of choice of a self-selecting group of Republicans on Capitol Hill and beyond. It was founded in 1982 by the Reverend Sun Myung Moon and a cadre of journalists who wanted to put more “morality” into the Washington press. Before Bill O’Reilly’s “no spin zone,” they were hatching theories about the dominance of the liberal media—and plotting to topple, or at least challenge...

As an intern, I got to cover Reagan’s state funeral at the Capitol. As a Washington Times intern, I got to hear what some of the funeral-goers might not have told me if it weren’t for my paper affiliation...
When Khalid Sheikh Mohammed first floated the plan to Osama bin Laden in 1996, it proposed the hijacking of 10, not four, planes, on both the East and West coasts.

The Washington National Cathedral was filled with the world's power fraternity, including President George W. Bush and all the living former Presidents--Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Jerry Ford--and some who had tried but failed--Al Gore, Bob Dole, Walter...
...Kennedy School I learned how to write and speak more effectively. The writing required of me at the Kennedy School was different than what was required of me in decades on Capitol Hill: There I was surrounded by talented writers and researchers who would prepare the first drafts of position papers or speeches, which I would extensively edit. By contrast, here at the Kennedy School, all the writing was mine from start to finished product. I admit that it took time to wean myself from the reflex of expecting a rough draft to appear magically on my desk ready...
