I just finished reading Paper Boy to Pulitzer. It is an interestingly detailed account by John Hughes -- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former editor-in-chief of The Christian Science Monitor -- of his long connection with journalism. Hughes includes backstories and feelings about events during his long career that he couldn't tell while writing his news and feature stories at the time.

As President Obama put it, this deal intends to "create time and space" for a broader agreement to prevent an Iran that's armed with nuclear weapons. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
