"During the course of administration, and in
order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been levelled against us,
charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses
of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be
regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to sap its
safety."
--Thomas Jefferson, Second Inaugural Address, 1805
