Too many critics mistake the deliberations of the Congress f

Summary

This quote suggests that some critics misunderstand the role of the Congress. It highlights that simply observing or analyzing the discussions and debates within the Congress does not necessarily reflect its actual actions or outcomes. It implies that critics often focus on the process and arguments without fully acknowledging or recognizing the concrete decisions made by the Congress. This can be interpreted as a cautionary reminder to assess the actual actions taken by the Congress, rather than solely relying on its deliberations, in order to form a comprehensive understanding and evaluation.

Your column is a pack of damn lies, a reader wrote to Willia

Your column is a pack of damn lies, a reader wrote to William Safire about a political piece he did in the New York Times.Brushing aside the stern criticism, Safire immediately debated whether it should be damn, the way it sounds, or damned, as the past participle of the verb, to damn. The ed on some words is simply slipping away, he points out. We're seeing more barbecue chicken, whip cream and corn beef. His conclusion: Ears are sloppy and eyes are precise; accordingly, speech can be loose but writing should be tight.http://extras.denverpost.com/books/book23.htm

I have received no assurance that anything we can do will eradicate suffering. I think the best results are obtained by people who work quietly away at limited objectives, such as the abolition of the slave trade, or prison reform, or factory acts, or tuberculosis, not by those who think they can achieve universal justice, or health, or peace. I think the art of life consists in tackling each immediate evil as well as we can.

As an editor, I read Charlotte Rogan's amazing debut novel, 'The Lifeboat,' when it was still in manuscript. I read it in one night, and I really wanted my company to publish it, but we lost it to another house. It's such a wonderful combination of beautiful writing and suspenseful storytelling.
