"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones
A Berlin Diary Birthday
Before the day ends, we wanted to wish one of our favorite journalists of yore a very happy birthday. William L. Shirer, one of the original Murrow Boys and author of "Berlin Diary" and "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," would be 101 today.
