LEADING EPISCOPAL PUBLIC INTELLECTUAL DAMNS
EXPERIMENTAL CLIMATOLOGY AS
All therefore that is necessary to control public opinion is to gain possession of some organ loud and lofty enough ...to excite a panic in the public mind... and the rabble (whether in the ranks of literature or war) will throw away their arms, and surrender at discretion to any bully or impostor who, for a consideration, shall choose to try the experiment upon them!
--William Hazlitt
On Public Opinion 1828
