����?'ll have to subscribe to answer my own question. Rats! But Walter Cronkite's admonishment was interesting:


"We fall short of presenting all, or even a goodly part, of the news each day that a citizen would need to intelligently exercise his franchise in this democracy. So as he depends more and more on us, presumably the depth of knowledge of the average man is diminished. This clearly can lead to a disaster in democracy."

-Walter Cronkite as quoted in The Atlantic Monthly of January 1981.

Oops! You're right, Vanderbilt has now made it a subscription service. I'll look around for another source that's still free. Pity.
