“You know what people use these for? They roll them up and swat their puppies for wetting on the rug - they spread them on the floor when they're painting the walls - they wrap fish in them - shred them up and pack their two-bit china in them when they move - or else they pile up in the garbage until an inspector declares them a fire hazard! But this also happens to be a couple of more things! It's got print on it that tells stories that hundreds of good men all over the world have broken their backs to get. It gives a lot of information to a lot of people who wouldn't have known about it if we hadn't taken the trouble to tell them. It's the sum total of the work of a lot of guys who don't quit. It's a newspaper . . . and it only costs 10 cents, that's all. But if you only read the comic section or the want ads - it's still the best buy for your money in the world. ”
- William Conrad, actor, playing a crusty city editor in "30," 1959
Sing it brother. I'm at a high point in life. I don't think I've ever felt so motivated. Do WORK.
