"We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn't. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows." | by: | Katharine Graham (1917-2001) American publisher, owner of Washington Post and Newsweek magazine. |
