Upton Sinclair Speaks

Three alert readers sent me the reference to Upton Sinclair's original quote, which came from his memoir, "I, Candidate for Governor, and How I Got Licked," p. 109. University of California Press; New Ed edition (December 16, 1994). Hopefully, this photocopy of the page where the original quote appears will enlighten web readers for generations to come. The exact quote states: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." . . .View image
