Mr. Powers:
I don't want any more economists, sages, or oracles bombinating over our cables. I want a reporter! Somebody who doesn't know the difference between an -ism and a kangaroo. A good, honest crime reporter. That's what the Globe needs. That's what Europe needs. There's a crime hatching on that bedeviled continent.
...
Mr. Powers:
How would you like to cover the biggest story in the world today?
John Jones:
Give me an expense account and I'll cover anything.
Mr. Powers:
I'll give you an expense account.
John Jones:
Okay, What's the story?
Mr. Powers:
Europe.
John Jones:
Well, I'm afraid I'm not exactly equipped, sir, but I can do some reading up.
Mr. Powers:
No no, no reading up. I like you just as you are, Mr. Jones. What Europe needs is a fresh, unused mind.
John Jones:
Foreign correspondent, huh?
Powers:
No, reporter. I don't want correspondence, I want news.
