All emphasis in American prisons is on punishment, retribution, and disparagement, and almost none is on rehabilitation. Conrad Black
It is intellectually dishonest to look backwards with all the facts and judge the decisions that were made with almost none of the facts, or the facts that existed hidden in the normal cloud of endless speculation of what might happen. Norm Coleman
Extravagant in movie terms but stingy in emotional ones, it embodies all of [director Steven] Spielberg's bad impulses and almost none of his good ones: It's a grand display of how well he knows how to work us over, and yet the desperation with which he tries to get to us is repulsive. Stephanie Zacharek

Raymond Chandler
