Freedom is slavery, says Tim Crouse in
Boys on the Bus:
"Freedom" scared a reporter out of his mind, because it wasn't really freedom at all. "Freedom" simply meant that nobody had clearly marked all the pitfalls and booby traps, so the reporter became cautious as a blind man on a battlefield... To say that TV reporting was an "individual thing" was to say that if a reporter fumbled a story, the shit-hammer came down squarely on his head. There were no middle-men to blame.
Failure is success, says George Kalogerakis in
Spy: The Funny Years:
Spy's first issue had 26 pages of paid advertising; the second had 13.
