Framing
truth

On "framing" and "spin"
in journalism:

"… Packaging is unavoidable.
Facts rarely, if ever, 
  speak for themselves."

Matthew C. Nisbet,  
Assistant Professor
  of "Communication,"
June 6, 2007

If they could, they might
say "We was framed!"

Facts cannot, of course,
speak for themselves
to those who do not
understand their language.

Example:

A picture that appeared in
Log24 on June 7, 2005:

Attempt to
frame the picture:

Analogies

— Anonymous

  The best mathematicians "see
analogies between analogies."
Banach, according to Ulam

Masters of Chaos

From the May 6, 2007,
New York Times,
Charles McGrath on
Philip K. Dick:

His early novels, written in two weeks or less, were published in double-decker Ace paperbacks that included two books in one, with a lurid cover for each. "If the Holy Bible was printed as an Ace Double," an editor once remarked, "it would be cut down to two 20,000-word halves with the Old Testament retitled as 'Master of Chaos' and the New Testament as 'The Thing With Three Souls.'"

As for "the thing with
three souls"–

Part I:
"Educate, Empower, Entertain"
— Motto of Yolanda King

Part II:
Three universities
(but not those of
Martin Myerson)–
Princeton, Harvard, Cambridge
