Quote of the Day

"We haven’t heard what, if anything, is being done about finding a name for the new league of nations. The name “United Nations” will presumably have to be dropped, since the organization is to be an association, not a union, and it is unwise to lead people into believing that they are getting something they aren’t. One of the San Francisco papers made an unconscious suggestion for a title the other day when its proofreader was dozing. That paper came out with a reference to “the Untied Nations,” a far more accurate phrase than the one intended. The work of transposing the “t” and the “i” now begins in the composing room of time. It may take a long while, but it is worth doing." — E. B. White, Comment, May 19, 1945.
