THE NEWS HACK'S CREED:
I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

The good thing about popcorn-restaurant malls is that they've taken bad movies (that's all they are anymore) out of the cities. Here in Philthydelphia as I've mentioned before, we do not have a single first-run movie house downtown -- and I don't regret it, except that it conjures visions of the pleasure palaces of long ago, and then, and only then, does it make me sad.

Hey Twiddy, Dennis McAlpine isn't a "theater analyst," he's a Wall Street show-biz QUOTE MACHINE. (Indeed this would qualify for a NEUHARTHISM OF THE WEEK AWARD except it isn't ALL positive.)
