“And so it is to the printing press — to the
recorder of man’s deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news
— that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man
will be what he was born to be: free and independent.”
―John F. Kennedy
(1917-1963), 35th U.S. president, address to the American Newspaper Publishers Assn.,
1961.
