On the Eve of a Passage, a Host of Thanks- November 18, 2006 If all goes as planned, this will be the last Thanksgiving in which my name appears on The Post's masthead as deputy editorial page editor.

Two Tales of War: Read 'Em and Weep- November 4, 2006 Maybe it was the memory of the turbulent time I spent in the State Department as the Vietnam War escalated. Perhaps it was the names of Howard University classmates on the wall of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Or maybe it was just the recollection of the arrogance, prevarication and outright lies by the government during the Vietnam era that caused a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach as I read "State of Denial," Bob Woodward's inside look at the Bush administration and the Iraq debacle.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401680_xml/~3/24... |
