"All editors write, or have written; therefore little excuse exists for any of them to become tactless, hard, or insolent when the editorial chair is gained." — Helen Churchill Hungerford Candee, in her 1900 book "How Women May Earn a Living." Presumably toughened by her own dealings with editors, Candee went on to survive the Titanic disaster one hundred years ago this week (April 14-15, 1912). She died in 1949.
