When I came back to Washington to be The Times' chief congressional correspondent in 1991, I was looking for a book subject, and Ted Kennedy stood out for two reasons.
I thought writing about somebody current would be a little closer to what I'm used to doing.
我认为写有关某人当前的情况会比我以前做的要近一些。

Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right, you can fix it.
Democratic politicians have disliked things I've written, Republican politicians... if they all love you, you might as well be driving a Good Humor truck.
民主党政客不喜欢我写的东西，共和党政客。 。 。 如果他们都爱你，那么您不妨驾驶一辆好幽默卡车。

There's a Washington standard of casually putting things off the record. It's really gone too far. I don't know an easy way to turn it back.
