Have Yourself a Merry I.F. Stone Day
A new December holiday
I.F. Stone sez:
“Every government is run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.”
December 24 is I.F. Stone’s birthday (he would have been 98). His journalistic example is about as good a reason as any to celebrate.
Born Isidor Feinstein, the incomparable I.F. Stone served as an editor at The Nation and worked for several other papers before founding his own journal in 1953...with $3,000 borrowed from a friend and a 5,300-name subscription list inherited from a handful of defunct lefty publications. I.F. Stone’s Weekly reached a circulation of 70,000 by the 1960s and Stone was widely praised-even by his enemies-for his investigative skills and his ability to see through the hype.

Once again, Mr. Vonnegut gets the last word:
