More From Russell Baker
- "Like all young reporters – brilliant or hopelessly incompetent – I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits – the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of."
- "Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say that what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down."
- "A day spent praising the earth and lamenting man’s pollutionist history makes you feel like a superior, sensitive soul."
