"A writer may never find himself intimidated by governors or even presidents, by tycoons or even movie stars, for he knows he has the power to write about them. But editors have the power to pass on his writing." — Meyer Levin in his 1973 nonfiction book, "The Obsession."
Levin is probably best remembered today as the author of "Compulsion," a fictionalized account of the Leopold and Loeb murder case.
