Evidence: | 'I have always adopted the principle of working the newspaper fairly carefully from beginning to end. There may be an occasional glance at principal headlines over breakfast, but after that the real reading consists of starting at the front page, first column, and going steadily through. I rarely read advertisements, but not much else is omitted. The degree of concentration of course varies with the subject matter. Articles have preference over everything, especially those of current interest, Personal stuffy, like the "Wonder of the War" anecdotes, tend to get skipped somewhat. I suppose I am more interested in ideas than individuals.' |
