The thorn in the cushion of the editorial chair.
William Makepeace Thackeray, Roundabout Papers, The Thorn in the Cushion.
Journalism
I mean to work for 60 Minutes, and be able to go any place in the world, do any story, have enough time on the air, et cetera, there is simply no job in journalism like it. At the beginning, it was a dream. Even now, at the age of 84, I work with people who are half my age or less, and it is the draw of the story. If there is a good story going, why not be there?

Journalism
Get your facts first, and then you can distort 'em as much as you please.
Mark Twain, Interview with Kipling, In From Sea to Sea, Epistle 37.
The growth of blue-green algae in our lakes, large ponds, water reservoirs and public waters constitutes a problem for our environment and for our health. These types of algae often result in a deterioration of the water quality and emit a distinctly unpleasant odour. The algae consume a lot of oxygen in the water, leaving little for other animals like fish. They also produce toxins which can cause skin irritations and are suspected to be involved in the occurrence of liver cancer.
