“A free press is one where it's okay to state the conclusion you're led to by the evidence. One reason I'm in hot water is because my colleagues and I at NOW didn't play by the conventional rules of Beltway journalism.

“To say that a schlemiel is a luckless person is to touch only the negative side.

A hungry schlemiel dreams of a plate of hot soup, and hasn't a spoon.” PersonsDreamOpportunitySidesMissingNegativeHotLuckProfessionHungryPlatesSoupSpoonsHot Soup Author:Maurice Samuel
