I think being a liberal, in the true sense, is being nondoctrinaire, nondogmatic, non-committed to a cause - but examining each case on its merits. Being left of center is another thing; it's a political position. I think most newspapermen by definition have to be liberal; if they're not liberal, by my definition of it, then they can hardly be good newspapermen. If they're preordained dogmatists for a cause, then they can't be very good journalists; that is, if they carry it into their journalism. ↗

In all the poems I've written I've not really engaged in politics, and when I've found myself moving in that direction I've always stopped myself. ↗

Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ↗
