First sentence: If the noted American journalist, Walter Lippman, were alive in the post-Vietnam and post-Watergate era of this decade, he might rue the day that he remarked how "inexplicable" it was that no American student of government placed sufficient importance on the "study of the press and the sources of popular information" to write a book on the subject [1922, p. 320].
