CHAPTER 6

RESPONSIBILITY

Big Julie (a gangster at a crap game): I’m rollin’ the whole thousand. And to change my luck, I’m going to use my own dice.

Nathan Detroit (the defenceless host and gambler): Your own dice?

Big Julie: I had ’em made especially in Chicago.

Nathan: I do not wish to seem petty, but may I have a look at those dice? But these dice ain’t got no spots on ’em. They’re blank.

Big Julie: I had the spots removed for luck. But I remember where the spots formerly were.

Nathan: You are going to roll blank dice and remember where the spots were?

Big Julie: Detroit … do you doubt my memory?

Nathan: Big Julie, I have great trust in you.

From Guys and Dolls, Frank Loesser, 19551

‘A paper must be fearless, and sometimes even offend its friends and supporters, but if it is founded upon truth, it will entrench itself more and more in the confidence of the public’ – Keith Murdoch, 19212

‘Just produce better papers, papers that people want to read. Stop having people write articles just to produce Pulitzer Prizes. Give people what they want to read and make it interesting’ – Rupert Murdoch, 20083
