Famous quotes containing the words expansion and/or draft:
“Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“News is the first rough draft of history.”
—Philip L. Graham (1915–1963)
