Gore Vidal Quote of the Day XI
“On June 3, 1996, The Nation showed in a foldout chart how most of the U.S. media was now owned by a handful of corporations ... As I studied this beast, I felt a litle like Rip Van Winkle. When last I nodded off, there was something called the Sherman Antitrust Act. Whatever happened to it?”
--Gore Vidal, “Mickey Mouse, Historian,” The Nation, September 30, 1996
