I had the privilege of meeting Ralph McGill once. He spoke with the Editorial Board of the Yale Daily News. One of the snotty preppies in the room had the gall to ask McGill, "How can you publish a good newspaper in Atlanta?"

McGill replied, simply, "I don't write my newspaper for people who move their lips when they read." He was writing a good newspaper, for competent readers. And you were one of his competent readers.
