It is hard, hard work. We do tons of interviews and sift through documents that for one reason or another may never become public. We do round after round of edits to make sure our story is ironclad. We talk to our lawyers to make sure our sources—and journalists—are as protected as they can be.

Our focus on unearthing new or under-noticed stuff can lead to a weird situation when I talk about work with friends or family: Did I see the latest thing Trump said about Iran? Sure. Do I have the story behind the story? Do I know what to make of it? Not always.

It's time to fess up and admit I have seen every official Highlander movie and TV show. As awful as both versions of Highlander II are, the 3rd installment breaks the entire universe. The TV show could have been saved if the Kurgan killed them all in the finale, making it a plausible prequel.
