QUOTES OF THE MONTH




"We're just doing it ... for profit, and that's the whole point of the thing. We don't have, like, a political agenda. Doing hard news isn't - I mean, people have short attention spans, ... they want something they can laugh at, something that's silly, whatever."
-Stranger editor Christine Wenc, quoted in a June 23 North Seattle Press article about the alternative press.




"I have left out your name because you come off sounding like an inarticulate dope, and I don't want to publicly embarrass you any more than you already have done yourself."
-Christine Wenc, in a July 5 Stranger interview with a lesbian activist whose responses were speckled with "like," "I mean" and "whatever."




"The press is the best instrument for enlightening the mind of man, and improving him as a rational, moral and social being."
-Thomas Jefferson




"[Feminist women] leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
-Pat Robertson, speaking last year in opposition to Iowa's Equal Rights Amendment.
