    • 1956, ABA Journal, volume 42, number 9, page 845:
      Not all the lens lice are in front of the camera. The old "front page" tradition still lingers in our business. There are enough bald-headed, cigar-smoking, visor-decked, hard-drinking city editors to keep the legend alive inside the newsroom.
