The Education of Governors

Do not assiduously read the daily newspapers: that way lies madness. A critic of American weekly journals of opinion recently remarked to me that all our serious weeklies, radical, liberal, or conservative, suffer from a common fault, their common tone of complaint that “many little things are wrong.” This criticism is sound, and I plead guilty to it myself. If only so many little things weren’t wrong! No, I must stop reading those newspapers.
