Political disputes are one thing; professional respect is another. Quillnews’ contempt for snobbery makes your editor wonder about Bush 43’s history of embracing the fraternity system; what better frat for one-time Yalies than being ex-presidents? On the other hand, those who share the secrets of presidential responsibility need all the friends they can get. In this respect, Clinton gets an A; Carter an F. (Item 1/6)

R. Thomas Collins
Location: Outside-the-BeltwayNow at liberty after more than 30 years of looking for more (of everything), I’m reverting back to my original intent – looking for the story behind the news. I’ve been on the hunt for one story or another all along; books of my essays and travelogues about my work, family, and travel in news and oil are available from RavensYard, an independent publisher, in a collection entitled the NewsWalker Series. I intend to use Quillnews to post comments on current public events and, from time to time, on publishing projects I'm working on.
