引用

A radio critic is forced to be literate about the illiterate, witty about the witless and coherent about the incoherent.
出典: his column -
See It Now... is by every criterion television's most brilliant, most decorated, most imaginative, most courageous and most important program. The fact that CBS cannot afford it but can afford Beat the Clock is shocking.
出典: On cancellation of Edward R. Murrow's See It Now
