Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Can the England manager's job be done part time?
Yes, but not by Kevin Keegan. Bring back Terry Venables.

Are you sure? It must be me!
What's your favourite restaurant?
Langan's, for the atmosphere and food.
Are the 90s cooler than the 60s?
Don't ask me. Ask the Jewish weatherman Michael Gefilte Fish.
What was the last film you saw and was it any good?
Jerry McGuire starring Tom Cruise. Not bad but too long. More like a round-the-world cruise.
Which new language would you like to learn and why?
I know a few words and phrases but I'd like to learn Hebrew properly so I could read the Old Testament.

My accountant. He is extremely creative and imaginative. Consequently my tax returns are a most enjoyable read.
What was the best piece of advice you were ever given as you were growing up?
If at first you don't succeed, cheat!

No single event. But I'd pay to meet any of the sporting or showbiz greats like Muhammad Ali, Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby. I'd certainly pay pounds 500 to meet the last two!

When you told me I wasn't being paid for answering these questions.
What's your tipple?
An occasional glass of champagne.
