I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.

Weirdly I was writing a screenplay about the shuttle with @stephenharrigan when my wife brought us the news. Steve and I had both signed up to be the "journalist in space."

Just finished reading "Horse" by @GeraldineBrooks. After the wonderful story I enjoyed the afterword, where much research was revealed. Wish more authors would let us in on their secrets. I'm writing one now.

Only on Twitter can we watch a man worth $200 billion negotiate with a man worth $500 million about saving $12 a month.

While presenting in Ohio, I shared my youngest daughter's drawing titled "dyslexia". A person from the audience blurted out, "Oh, shit."
It made me realize the non-dyslexic public, including myself, has no idea what many young people are experiencing.

Unfortunately it was a premonition of 9/11.
Rewatching the @lawrence_wright scripted movie The Siege from 1998 and I can't get past just how prescient it was on so many levels.
