    “Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The lowest form of popular culture—lack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most people’s lives—has overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.”
