More quotes by Tom Wicker
Government expands to absorb revenue - and then some.
Tom Wicker
It's a truism that denials never quite catch up with charges. Honest journalists who may have mistakenly printed false information know that the most prominent retraction never quite undoes the damage done by the original publication.
Tom Wicker
If the true freedom of the press is to decide for itself what to publish and when to publish it, the true responsibility of the press must be to assert and defend that freedom... What the press in America needs is less inhibition, not more restraint.
Tom Wicker
Offices are not powerful because they exist men make them so. Rights are not honored because they exist men compel their recognition.
Tom Wicker
Our political parties exist for no other reason than to win power they are not ideological debating societies designed to present a particular political philosophy and to persuade voters to accept it.
Tom Wicker
He [John F. Kennedy] might have envisioned himself being alone, at the top but, like Woodrow Wilson, he would find out that not even a President moves free of human entanglement, human needs, human illusions not even a President can be independent of those around him.
