His column philosophy: "My approach to column writing is deliberate. I like to poke around before pontificating. Reporting rarely changes my attitude, but it invariably influences the tone of what I write. The more research you do, the more interviews you conduct, the better chance you have of writing with authority.

"The danger in diligent reporting is that it makes you see more shades of gray in a job that calls for daily opinion. The virtue is that it brings balance."
