| QUOTED: | - Donald Richie on the Year's Judicial Nominations:"Through most of the 20th century there were very few occasions of straight party-

- Historian Michael Bliss:"I think the (Peter) Newman book, trashy and wretched as it is,
is simply further evidence of the argument I make ...that (Brian) Mulroney was
a throwback to an earlier political style and that he might have made a good
mayor of Boston in the 1940s." -
Vancouver Sun, 12-28-06
- Alan Brinkley on Clinton Inpeachment in Textbooks:"It should not be in the book for titillating purposes or settling scores.
It should be in the book because of its significance to our recent history." -
