Blues for Mai Cramer
Quote
"Newspaper people, once celebrated as founts of ribald humor and uncouth fun, have of late lost all their gaiety, and small wonder. They have discovered that their prime duty is no longer to maintain the republic in well-informed condition -- or to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, as the old gospel has it -- but to serve the stock market with a good earnings report every three months or, in plainer English, to comfort the comfortable."
