“An editor is one who separates the wheat from the chaff and prints the chaff.” — Adlai Stevenson
(Most likely said by II. He was very popular with liberal-minded folks of the 1950s and early 1960s. A well respected politician. But, super tough running against the war hero, Eisenhower, and then the charismatic Jack Kennedy. I wonder what he’d think of today’s media? Yeesh! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Adlai Stevenson is only a name I’ve seen in history.
Can’t say I recall him running against John Kennedy. I only remember Richard Nixon as Kennedy’s opponent.
He lost to Kennedy in the Democratic Primaries of 1960. — YUR
Got it !
That was before I was mature enough to pay attention to elections.
Apparently, Stevenson wasn’t on television, which is where I got my first sight of Kennedy and Nixon.
They were right about Kennedy; he was cool and calm as an ice cube. He looked like sugar wouldn’t have melted in his mouth.
