The real thing about Safire, though, was not whether his columns made sense or not.It was that the man could write. 儘管如此,對薩菲爾來說真正的事情不是他的專欄是否有意義,而是這個人可以寫它。
Safire was always keen to stress the libertarian part of his political belief, which led him into interesting waters. 薩菲爾總是熱切地強調他的政治信念中的自由意志主義部份,這種信念使他陷入了有趣的尷尬中。
