    Famous Last Words:

    "There is not one of you who would dare to write his honest opinion."
John Swainton of the New York
    Times told colleagues at his retirement party in September. "The
business of a journalist now is to
    destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, fall at the
feet of Mammon and sell himself for
    his daily bread. We are tools, vessels of rich men behind the scenes,
we are jumping jacks. They pull
    the strings; we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives
are the properties of these men. We
    are intellectual prostitutes." So saying, he sailed away into an
honest retirement.

No. 1, January 2001, p. 10.
