• No veo la clase como una "estructura", ni siquiera como una "categoría", sino como algo que de hecho sucede (y puede demostrarse que ha sucedido) en las relaciones humanas... la noción de clase conlleva la noción de relación histórica. ...Y la clase ocurre cuando algunos hombres, como resultado de experiencias comunes (heredadas o compartidas), sienten y articulan la identidad de sus intereses entre sí, y frente a otros hombres cuyos intereses son diferentes (y generalmente opuestos) a los suyos

• The foulest damage to our political life comes not from the 'secrets' which they hide from us, but from the little bits of half-truth and disinformation which they do tell us. These are already pre-digested, and then are sicked up as little gobbits of authorised spew. The columns of defense correspondents in the establishment sheets serve as the spittoons.

• Jurors have found, again and again, and at critical moments, according to what is their sense of the rational and just. If their sense of justice has gone one way, and the case another, they have found "against the evidence," ... the English common law rests upon a bargain between the Law and the people: The jury box is where the people come into the court: The judge watches them and the people watch back. A jury is the place where the bargain is struck. The jury attends in judgment, not only upon the accused, but also upon the justice and the humanity of the Law.
