Quotes
Michael Anthony: [Anthony enters a Tipton estate annals containing hundreds of front pages of newspapers. As he approaches Tipton, Anthony pauses to glance at headlines such as "Roosevelt Landslide" and "Lusitania Sunk." Tipton is seated in a high-backed chair with only his right arm visible to the viewers] You sent for me, sir?
John Beresford Tipton: Mike,
[Pointing at a newspaper]
John Beresford Tipton: do you remember that headline?
Michael Anthony: [Anthony peruses a Chicago Globe newspaper Extra with the headline "Hughes Elected US President!"] Yes, sir, that was a very famous headline.
John Beresford Tipton: That is was, Mike. Charles Evans Hughes ran against Woodrow Wilson, and for a few hours, it looked like he'd won. In Chicago, this Extra hit the streets and had to be pulled back.
Michael Anthony: Like the false Armistice headline in World War I?
John Beresford Tipton: That's right, Mike. And it was about this time that a pernicious disease called 'yellow journalism' began to spread. It still flourishes unchecked in some places.
[Tipton hands over an envelope to Anthony]
John Beresford Tipton: Let's see what kind of headline this will get us.
[Anthony bows]
