Books I Recommend: The Columbus Affair

my favorite lines from the book...


be as courageous as a leopard, as light as an eagle, as fast as a deer and as strong as a lion to do the will of your Father in heaven

self-pity was his intoxicant

to hide a sin was to commit another

one rule any good reporter quickly mastered was to learn the lay of the land

violence is the only thing some understand

the innocent and the fool could pass for a twin

uncertainty breeds compromise

architecture is frozen music -goethe

every good reporter has to have options

to know where to go is to know where you are from

only that with most things in life, there is more to the story

we are our own worst enemy

naiveté.  the greatest sin of youth. which most times is accompanied by arrogance

secrets shared become secrets betrayed

what's past is past. there was no undoing it. all that mattered was what lay ahead

that was the thing about the truth. it silenced everything to the contrary
