I wonder what it must be like living with the knowledge that your ongoing fame is so dependent on friendly leaks and peaks from a patron known for ire-based reversals of largesse. His career keeps him prone to something like Stockholm syndrome.

At this point, how many months or years away from this dependency would he need, before we could start trusting that he is giving us independent opinions that are truly from him; not things that are, as likely as not, what he needs to believe.
