- Fleeting wisdom
  
  Now there’s only two things in life, but I forget what they are. It seems were either hanging on a moonbeam’s coat tails or wishing on stars. Just when you think that you’ve been gypped, the bearded lady comes and does a double back flip and you run off and join the circus. Yeah, you just let that pony ride. — John Hiatt

  The State of Journalism
  Duke Magazine 9/10/07
  [Kevin] Sack might be surprised to see our database of every candidate, official, and contributor in our region-something the newspaper does not provide. He might be appalled to learn that mere citizens reported on elections in towns that journalists eschew. When we cover mundane things, we get hundreds of responses and thousands of eyeballs-partly because of technologies Sack fears, delivering unique and wanted information to each individual.
