Publishers are notoriously slothful about numbers, unless they're attached to dollar signs -- unlike journalists, quarterbacks, and felony criminal defendents who tend to be keenly aware of numbers at all times.

-- Hunter S Thompson, (Jul 18 1939-2005), US journalist; Journalist, writer, editor. Born July 18, 1936 in Louisville, Kentucky. Thompson is best known as a proponent of new journalism, a form of writing that engages the subjectivity of its author and often includes fictional elements to dramatize real occurences. Among numerous examples of his eccentric and daredevil approach towards writing, he became the first reporter to infiltrate the Hell's Angels. He rode with them for a year, an experience which led to his being savagely beaten up.
