What a closed little closed-minded society the NYT editorial staff must be. Like those who couldn’t comprehend how Ronald Reagan was elected by a landslide in 1980, because nobody they knew would have voted for him.
“Who they are (i.e. the Reagan people), I don’t know. But sometimes, when I’m in the theater, I can feel them.”
- Pauline Kael, NYT drama critic
