“The world’s three oldest professions are prostitution, spying and journalism. The last one has small elements of the first two but it doesn’t pay you as well. However, it won’t land you in jail either in a civilized country.”

—Frank T. Csongos, UPI (see “Journalism Quotes”).

• Editorial Comment: That is changing.
