If America has the right to target Osama bin Laden, or terrorists, of course Israel has the right to defend itself from terrorism.
I feel like my 50 years at Harvard were an interlude. I'm really a New Yorker.
I think extremists within the base may very well move the Democratic party away from its pro-Israel position.
I have been defending Israel's right to exist, and to defend itself against terrorism, for many years-on college campuses, in television appearances and in debate.
My goal is always to keep support for Israel a bi-partisan issue and never make a national election any kind of referendum on Israel.
The prosecution wants to make sure the process by which the evidence was obtained is not truthfully presented, because, as often as not, that process will raise questions.
There are two kinds of terrorism. Rational terrorism such as Palestinian terrorism and apocalyptic terrorism like Sept. 11. You have to distinguish between the two.

I wrote several articles criticizing psychoanalysis, but the analysts weren't listening to my objections. So I finally quit after practicing it for six years.
Babies and young children are like the research and development division of the human species, and we grown-ups are production and marketing.
If parents are the fixed stars in the child's universe, the vaguely understood, distant but constant celestial spheres, siblings are the dazzling, sometimes scorching comets whizzing nearby.

Successful creative adults seem to combine the wide-ranging exploration and openness we see in children with the focus and discipline we see in adults.
We say that children are bad at paying attention, but we really mean that they're bad at not paying attention - they easily get distracted by anything interesting.
Historically, absolute IQ scores have risen substantially as we've changed our environment so that more people go to school longer.
Language cannot describe the scene that followed; the shouts, oaths, frantic gestures, taunts, replies, and little fights; and therefore I shall not attempt it.
At The Body Shop we had always been measured by how many jobs we had created, and I got a major award from the Queen on that.
Our material eye cannot see that a stupid chauvinism is driving us from one noisy, destructive, futile agitation to another.
I am a huge admirer of Elizabeth I, and this intriguing biography gives a wonderful picture of the era.
And that's why any of my picture books exist: They all seem to be built backwards from a simple, emotionally optimistic story beat.
Doonesbury had the requisite and overwhelming influence in 1980, as it did on any college cartoonist who was paying attention, of course.
