Quit stalling, Netanyahu
Now is the ideal time for Netanyahu to make peace.
By Richard Cohen, Tuesday, May 24, 12:39 AM
Every man has a father, and Binyamin Netanyahu's is worth knowing. He is Benzion Netanyahu, born 101 years ago in what was soon to become Poland and living now in what has become Israel. He is a historian by profession, the author of a mammoth and well-respected book on the Spanish Inquisition and, most pertinent to today's events, the former secretary to Ze'ev Jabotinsky, a militant Zionist leader whose credo, when it came to the Arabs, could be summarized as: Do nothing. Binyamin Netanyahu is doing precisely that.

Media: The Perils of the Print InterviewSam Harris, 05.24.2011
Author, Neuroscientist
I'm entirely sympathetic with the desire on the part of journalists and their editors to print honest and natural speech. But it seems to me that very few consumers of media realize that print interviews present unique opportunities for distortion.
