There's a lovely little note on page 343 in the chapter "The Monitor Today". It reads as follows:
"To work for the Christian Science Monitor was an undiluted pleasure. . . With a courage almost unknown in the modern newspaper world, the Monitor never seemed to mind if the news was a day or two late, provided that when it did arrive it was comprehensive, fair and accurate."
The writer was a Mr. David E. Walker.
Comprehensive, fair and accurate. Wouldn't readers be glad if all their news was reported in such a fashion today.
