From The Great Shark Hunt (p. 71): tom keating (about HST): "... he's a goddamn lunatic - and you've got to be careful with a bastarrd like that, because no matter how hard he tries, he just can't help but tell the truth"
HST response "... I just sort of slumped down on my bar stool and stared at myself in the mirror... wishing, on one level that keating's harsh judgment was right... but knowing, on another, that the treacherous realities of the worlds I especially work in forced me to abandon the purist stance a LONG TIME AGO. If I'd written the truth I knew for the past 10 years, about 600 people - including me would be ROTTING in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today... ABSOLUTE TRUTH IS A VERY RARE AND DANGEROUS COMMODITY IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISM".
