C.E.O.'s are used to flying their own planes, seeing only their own subordinates and being accountable to no one. They are profoundly certain of their own value system. They have contempt for the public and the press. They have none of the accountability required of a president of the United States.
A smiling Bush appearance blessing any cause, program or habitat is tantamount to a visit from the angel of death.
— A line from the same story, noting that Bush's budget is diametrically opposed to his photo ops for the environment, libraries, police officers and the Boys and Girls clubs.

You don't need fiction to make a great story out of Pearl Harbor, but our assumption was that a lot of our readers are not intimately familiar with the history, and this was a way to draw them in. History is essentially a dead letter for most people except as it lives in their memory or imagination or in popular culture representations. ... We can engage people by getting them to look at pop culture Hollywood representations with the ultimate goal of getting them to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying events.
