Sometimes when I get home at night in Washington I feel as though I had been in a great traffic jam.
I went to college in Connecticut, which was when I still lived at home. I worked at a video store, a wine store, and did odd jobs here and there like landscaping.
It gets so boring at home. After all, how many reruns of Abbott and Costello movies can a guy watch on television?
The tragedy of modern war is that the young men die fighting each other – instead of their real enemies back home in the capitals.

The thing I like about baseball is that it’s one-on-one. You stand up there alone, and if you make a mistake, it’s your mistake. If you hit a home run, it’s your home run.
