Loved this anecdote from NRO:
When British playwright Tom Stoppard was a young man, reports the Sunday Telegraph, he wanted a job at the London Evening Standard. "The editor, Charles Wintour, a chilly Fleet Street veteran, quizzed him sternly: ‘I gather you’re interested in politics,’ said Wintour. ‘Who’s the Home Secretary?’ ‘Look,’ blustered Stoppard, ‚Äò’I said I was interested, not obsessed.’"
A mark of sanity. And that makes me … ?
