Fourth Degree

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or degree:

    Newsmen believe that news is a tacitly acknowledged fourth branch of the federal system. This is why most news about government sounds as if it were federally mandated—serious, bulky and blandly worthwhile, like a high-fiber diet set in type.
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    I’ve always credited the private detective with a high degree of omniscience. Or is that only true in rental fiction?
    John Paxton (1911–1985)
