Reporting . . .

. . . Live from the Scene


Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air.
 —Henry Anatole Grunwald (1922-2005), diplomat, journalist and former editor of Time, Inc., in Time Magazine's 60th anniversary issue, Fall 1983

If you have recovered from whatever led you to subscribe and don’t want it anymore, send “unsubscribe” to ted.pease@gmail.com.
