Well, let me say this. For a person who is 62, I think I get around reasonably well. So I guess when I see some of these cartoons, it kind of hurts your pride a little bit, but I have been in this political arena long enough that that kind of harpooning is just part of the American humor.

...Government Department. All they needed was something tangible to grab onto in order to kick her out. Now they have the contract dispute to point to." One junior professor of the Government Department said: "She'll probably get tenure, but it will be more a matter of pride than anything else.

Like Conan Doyle, whose Sherlock Holmes entertainments outlasted his "serious" work, Andersen was to see his poetry, novels...
Frank Rich's material success may be no substitute for the intangibles, like pride in his work, but, the way his friends see it, Rich has come a long way since the days when he was trudging around with them in the Cambridge slush, agonizing over term papers and eating Barbecue Beef in the Lowell House dining room. What really gets them, though--what really sets their teeth gnashing--is that those days were so recent. That's just the way it happens, for some people. Before he could hang up his mortarboard, Rich was writing an article about Daniel...
