Mirth_Flashlight - The Monday Morning Memo

“A certain timbre of journalism and the stepping up of news, with the implication that the first duty of man is to discover everything that has just happened everywhere in the world…. The acceptance, by individual and state, of the ideal of publicity, as though the sheer condition of being noticed were the ultimate good…. It is a little hard to get on paper, but I smell something that doesn't smell good. There is a decivilizing bug somewhere at work; unconsciously persons of stern worth, by not resenting and resisting the small indignities of the times, are preparing themselves for the eventual acceptance of what they themselves know they don't want. Harper's Magazine (October 1938)”

- E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web
