Q UOTES
Roger Rodoni, in November 2004, on the game of politics and the use of anonymously funded
attack ads. “In politics we’re dealing with power. And people get quite desperate about that, and they
will do desperate things, say desperate things...Personally I give the electorate credit. I think people are
intelligent enough to figure it out.”
Justice William O’Douglas: ”Those in power need checks and restraints lest they come to identify the
common good for their own tastes and desires, and their continuation in office as essential to the
preservation of the nation.”
