“I have come to believe that large print, thick and heavy paper, and wide margins and oversize leading is indicative of the expected intelligence of the reader. … Compare children's books and books on Web Duhsign or other X-in-21-days books.

“I didn't go to university. They offered me a job as a junior reporter and I went off to work for the Southern Reporter. They sent me to college to do my NCTJ, which is a professional exam for journalists, and I started work as a print journalist purely because I was just a pest. They couldn't think of anything other than giving me a job to stop me hanging around.” ThinkingGivingJobsCollegeUniversityJournalistPrintSouthernReportersJuniorsExamHanging AroundPests Author:Jill Douglas

“When I was young, I was really, really obsessed with Gena Rowlands and John Cassavetes. Because my mom was a projectionist in college, she was somehow able to get a real projector. And she had some connections, so she would get real prints, and we'd put up a sheet. The first movies I saw were To Kill a Mockingbird [1962], Gigi [1958], A Woman Under the Influence [1974]. Then when I was old enough to be able to rent movies, I went through a very big Cassavetes phase.” FirstsRealEnoughBigsAbleYoungSawsInfluenceCollegeMomConnectionsMy MomObsessedPrintPhasesSheetsGet RealMockingbirdProjectorsKill A Mockingbird Author:Winona Ryder
“Just in higher education alone, more people go to college now, by enormous amounts, than went to college in the '50's and '60's.

“Especially with a magazine like Lampoon, which was very dependent on newsstand sales. Our readers didn't usually occupy the same address long enough to get a subscription, because they were in college, or they were hippies. So it was very up-and-down, and we had to calculate how many to print, which was always sort of a headache from a business point of view.” LongEnoughViewsCollegeReaderDown AndPoint Of ViewMagazinesAddressesDependentPrintUp And DownHippieHeadacheSubscription Author:P.
