What I had done to Caleb in being deceptive about the angle of my story certainly wasn't nice. It wasn't nice either to write a story about Caleb—or about any of the others—that I had good reason to think would make them upset. By the standards of personal ethics, it wasn’t particularly virtuous to publicize my classmates’ ambitions in order to further...

(Your letter has joined the ones I received from Bush and Clinton in pride of place on my office bulletin board.) I know you guys all personally took the time to write me, but it's kind of funny - all your letters say more or less the same thing.

...nice of Fry to single out the Senate, as its actions certainly do not reflect the will of the American people.

What’s more, the populations of the states represented by the 45 senators who have already committed to supporting climate-change legislation almost certainly represent more than half the nation’s population, given that opponents of the legislation come disproportionately from small states.
