Today's Word—On Newspaper Reading

Guilty Pleasures:

“A newspaper is like a bad woman. It takes your time, it steals your money, it robs you of your self-respect. And yet, you give up all these gladly in exchange for a few fleeting moments of pleasure.”
Derick Daniels, city editor of The Miami Herald, advising a young reporter, ca. 1959. (Thanks to alert WORDster Phil Meyer)
