- "Like the Kremlinology of the cold war, the unpacking of Nasrallah’s careful ambiguities is as much art as science. Was he smiling more, some asked last week, as others sought to identify the audiences for different parts of his messaging."
- "The reason Barbour's comment is meaningful is that he's saying Murdoch — and not Fox chief Roger Ailes, as some speculated — was the driving force behind the contribution. News Corp. has been at pains all along to stress that the money came from the parent company, not from the network, in part to damp down the perpetual reports of a rift between Murdoch and Ailes.

- "Those in the party are also quick to dismiss the sometimes necessary Kremlinology needed to discern its strategic shifts."
