#1 Good lord, does anyone there understand the journalist's creed?
Not to be confused with the copywriters creed at deadline, "You got eyes, plagiarize."

#3 Hey, he's a socialist. Property is crime, and all that. Feel free to use any of HIS stuff, because, well, he's a socialist.

#4 Well, what do you expect - from each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Just living the creed.

#6 I'm starving for prose, to my sorrow.
I would gladly return some tomorrow
And be truly indebted
If I could take credit
For all of the stuff I might borrow.

An honest socialist will not steal,
Just redistribute meal by meal.
He'll make up your lack
When he gets off his back,
So live up to his genteel ideal!
