Rex Stout:
Wolfe had had the Times and a book . . . and his weekly battle with the television. . . . He turns on one channel after another, getting grimmer and grimmer, until he is completely assured that it is getting worse instead of better, and quits.*
Aside:
He wrote that 50 years ago, folks, before Fox News and reality (sic) shows. One wonders what he might say today. And, yes, I’ve been a Rex Stout fan since I read Some Buried Caesar in the back seat of the family car on the way to visit my grandmother lo! those many years ago.
