Famous quotes containing the words latch and/or speed:

    “There’s something I should like to ask you, dear.”
    “You don’t know how to ask it.”
    “Help me, then.”
    Her fingers moved the latch for all reply.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The greatest felony in the news business today is to be behind, or to miss a big story. So speed and quantity substitute for thoroughness and quality, for accuracy and context. The pressure to compete, the fear somebody else will make the splash first, creates a frenzied environment in which a blizzard of information is presented and serious questions may not be raised.
    Carl Bernstein (b. 1944)
