Journalists-a dream remembered

A quote for today from Elaine Dewar's "Bones: Discovering the First Americans" p. 6:

"Journalists are willing to go anywhere, to be passionate fools, to ask innocent questions, to ignore barriers, to look for patterns that connect disciplines and solitudes, and to have no vested interest in anybody's intellectual capital. Science must be public and transparent or it loses its meaning, and journalists bring evidence out of the lab and spread it before the general public. Journalists are the last of the generalists."
