"In the world of the 'celebrated,' I most admire David Brooks, the New York Times columnist and regular commentator on political talk shows. Mr. Brooks has a keen eye for the social and political trends that escape the notice of the ordinary observer in his trade. He invariably describes fairly the perspectives of others across a broad spectrum of political and social opinion, even those with whom he does not agree. He announces his own personal conclusions in a way that makes his own values and even biases transparent. He has a very good sense of humor that prevents taking himself too seriously. He is modest, recognizing that often the greatest contributions to human welfare come not from the 'celebrity' class, but from individuals, organizations, and communities toiling in relative obscurity."
