“Books today have become mere
adjuncts to the world of mass media, offering light entertainment and reassurances
that all is for the best of all possible worlds. The resulting control on the
spread of ideas is stricter than anyone would have thought possible in a free
society.” —Author-publisher Andre Schiffrin
