Quotes from Dick Gregory, c. 1963

I would say the broadcaster holds the shotgun in his hand when he's communicating, mainly because he is a part of the audience more than he is a communicator. That is his first strength. Next, he has the force — the power of the wires strung over the whole world. Then, he has the tools of persuasion. His cameras and microphones are mightier than the pen. He can bend the straw, and all he needs to do it is Truth. With truth, force, and persuasion he can save this country.
