Particularly disturbing is your point that even the Times was looking for a handout from the state to grow their business.

We need men and women of your caliber. If we turn our backs on the politi- cal process because some play the game so lethally and immorally, we all lose. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank both of you for fighting the good fight. I can only say that I wouldn’t have had the stomach to hang in there the way you did. You may have lost an election but you both offered to all of us a lesson in the way things are supposed to be in democracy.
