Good one..

"I have to say, too, if that war [the Revolutionary War] had been covered - this is the most important year in the most important conflict in our history - if it had been covered by the media, and the country had seen now horrible the conditions were, how badly things were being run by the officers, and what a very serious soup we were in, I think that would have been it, too."

- Historian David McCullough, author of 1776, a book about the American Revolution, during an appearance on CNBC's Tim Russert on June 18.
