“I met Clinton during her husband's first campaign for the White House....” — Richard Cohen Quote

I met Clinton during her husband's first campaign for the White House. It was 1992, New Hampshire, and both Clintons had stopped at a coffee shop to greet the folks and get something to eat.

Hillary Clinton looms over the Democratic Party like Evita from her balcony.

Germany's crimes were recent and of such a scale and depravity that, unless constantly faced, they will come to seem fictitious.

The fact is that the United States does not need Israel. Our special relationship was not forged, as it was with Great Britain, in two world wars, not to mention a common language and, in significant respects, culture. It is based on warmth, emotion, shared values - and, not to be dismissed, a potent domestic lobby.

Sometimes you don't want to hear noise. I'm well known for sitting in a coffee shop with foam earplugs in because I like to muffle the world a bit.

It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.

I spent time living in Ethiopia, learning about the cultural importance of coffee and its roots in Ethiopia.

I think there's as much violence, in a way, as a scene with two women having a cup of coffee in a Ruth Rendell novel - in terms of emotional violence and the violence you can inflict with language - as there is in the most graphic kind of serial killer/slasher novel you can think of.
