“What chiefly distinguishes the daily press of the United States from the press of all other countries is not its lack of truthfulness or even its lack of dignity and honor, for these deficiencies are common to the newspapers everywhere, but its incurable fear of ideas, its constant effort to evade the discussion of fundamentals by translating all issues into a few elemental fears, its incessant reduction of all reflection to mere emotion. It is, in the true sense, never well-informed.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)

—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

“So the brother in black offers to these United States the source of courage that endures, and laughter.”

each morning boatloads of hands
pushed off for granite
quarries on the islands.”
