The Press Is A Watchdog. Not An Attack Dog. Not A Lapdog. A Watchdog. Now, A Watchdog Can't Be Right All The Time. He Doesn't Bark Only When He Sees Or Smells Something That's Dangerous. A Good Watchdog Barks At Things That Are Suspicious.

The American Dream Is One Of The Greatest Ideas In The History Of Human Achievement . . . It Thrives Today In An Age When Its Core Components Of Freedom And Opportunity Are Open To More Americans Than Ever Before. It Holds A Real, Identifiable Place In The American Heart And Mind, And It Informs The Aspirations Of Everyone From Farmers To Software Developers, From Detectives To Bankers, From Soldiers To Social Workers . . . It Defines Us As A People, Even As We Add To Its Meaning With Each New Chapter In Our National Experience And Our Individual Actions.
