“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision.

It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“And Saints—to windows run—

Leaning against the—Sun—”
