I got this idea of doing a really serious big work-it would be precisely like a novel, with a single difference: Every word of it would be true from beginning to end.
“If we are lucky, and George W. Bush is right, we are about to witness the War of the Happy Iraqis.”
“If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.”
