Last Day

"As long as I live under the capitalistic system, I expect to have my life influenced by the demands of moneyed people. But I will be damned if I propose to be at the beck and call of every itinerant scoundrel who has two cents to invest in a postage stamp. This, sir, is my resignation." -William Faulkner, October 1924, quitting his job as a University of Mississippi postmaster.

We must be; we have badges on." -the NYT's David Carr in Page One: Inside The New York Times. At CRMA today.
