“The rising power of the United States in world affairs … requires, not a more compliant press, but a relentless barrage of facts and criticism … Our job in this age, as I see it, is not to serve as cheerleaders for our side … but to help the largest possible number of people to see the realities.” James Reston (1909-1995) Scottish-born (“Scotty”) New York Times journalist, editor, bureau chief, two Pultizer Prizes, Presidential Medal of Freedom.
