Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one. - A. J. Liebling

Inconsiderate to the last, Josef Stalin, a man who never had to meet a deadline, had the bad taste to die in installments.

A man´s taste is formed more by his culture, his profession, and the period in which he is young than by his race or politics.

The subject [of Stalin's death] permitted a rare blend of invective and speculation—both Hearst papers, as I recall, ran cartoons of Stalin being rebuffed at the gates of Heaven, where Hearst had no correspondents—and I have seldom enjoyed a week of newspaper reading more.
