    —Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986)

    “The failures of the press have contributed immensely to the emergence of a talk-show nation, in which public discourse is reduced to ranting and raving and posturing. We now have a mainstream press whose news agenda is increasingly influenced by this netherworld.”
    —Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
