"I believe that an editor is a manufacturer. He takes the raw material, the manuscripts, processes them and sells them in different form. I and other editors buy laughter, tears, excitement, thrills and information, and sometimes, I hope, inspiration.... In my moments of intimate self-communion, I think I am an artist, but I am also a magazine man." — Fulton Oursler, editor of Liberty magazine, in a 1941 interview. Oursler died on this day (May 24) in 1952.
