There is not one shred of evidence that the Internet has had any downward influence on North American or European newspaper circulation.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

For all history up to the end...

For all history up to the end of the Cold War, summit meetings were historic and dramatic occasions, when leaders who controlled the destiny of much of the world met to change the world.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The United States is a proud,...

The United States is a proud, determined, hard-working, talented, patriotic nation and people, and it is not over-extended in the manner of empires of the past that took over the lands of others and eventually collapsed under the weight of the over-ambitious hegemon.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Economics is half psychology ...

Economics is half psychology and half Grade Three arithmetic, and the U.S. does not now have either half right.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

No one could seriously disput...

No one could seriously dispute that almost all of sub-Saharan Africa, all of North Africa except Morocco, all of the Middle East except Israel and Jordan and most of the oil-rich states, and the entire former British Indian Empire were better governed by Europeans.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The balance between faith and...

The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual, and of the people as a whole, not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance.

The facts of Watergate have been wildly exaggerated.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

A quest for knowledge is not ...

A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith; spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism; and moral relativism, taken outside midfield, leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness, which are often identical.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The Arabs could have peace to...

The Arabs could have peace tomorrow if sufficient numbers of Palestinians were not content to be used as cannon fodder in fruitless assaults on Israel, even as the surrounding Arab powers distract the Arab masses with the red herring of Israel while retarding their countries with their repression and corruption.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Private-sector firms are increasingly active in the prison industry and they and the militantly unionized correctional officers, almost all unskilled labor, constantly lead public demands for more criminal statutes and more draconian penalties.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

I do not at all have the mind...

I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The greenhouse effect of carb...

The greenhouse effect of carbon-dioxide emissions does produce gentle warming if it is not counteracted by unpredictable natural phenomena, but it cannot be measured directly against the volume of such emissions.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

At least 80 percent of American prisoners are grossly over-sentenced. The Supreme Court knows this, but shows scant concern for this human side of criminal justice.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

All my life, Americans have be...

All my life, Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as 'the richest, freest' country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Rupert Murdoch is probably the most successful media proprietor and operator in history.

Nixon's full term was one of the most successful in U.S. history, which is why he was re-elected by the largest plurality in the country's history.
