Reporter, n.

[_]

A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it with a tempest of words.

[More dear than all my bosom knows, O thou]

“More dear than all my bosom knows, O thou
Whose ‘lips are sealed’ and will not disavow!”
So sang the blithe reporter-man as grew
Beneath his hand the leg-long “interview.”
