The American revolutionaries believed in the power of the word. But they had only word of mouth and the printing press. We have the Internet.
I was scheduled to give my first official press conference that morning anyway, 'cause I was chairman of the Governors Energy Council and I was making a press conference with regard to energy policy.
What it means is that some of Charles' press secretaries have been better than others as some of the Queen's press secretaries have been better than others.
I think the press gets lazy once a certain kind of image is out there. It just adheres, rather than the press trying to break that down.
This is the cusp of an age at least as exciting and as brimful of potential as the early days of the printing press.
Willy Wonka: This is the great glass Wonkavator. Grandpa Joe: It's an elevator. Willy Wonka: No, it's a Wonkavator. An elevator can only go up and down, but the Wonkavator can go sideways, and slantways, and longways, and backways... Charlie Bucket: ...
