“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”

Ray Zimmerman is on page 106 of 208 of Write for Life: I have changed my project twice and started over with the book from the beginning. I am now writing a collection of short prose. I have read from the beginning and through chapter three a second time, and have about twenty-five pages of my next book completed. When converted to mass market size, the twenty-five pages will become 50.
