    “Because it wasn’t in the news. A managed democracy is a wonderful thing, Lemmy, for the managers . . . and its greatest strength is a ‘free press’ when ‘free’ is defined as ‘responsible’ and the managers define what is ‘irresponsible.’ Do you know what Lemmy needs most?”

    “More ice.”

    “A new system that does not bottleneck through one channel. Our friend Lemmy is our greatest danger.”

    “Huh? Don’t you trust Lemmy?”

        It’s definitely political science fiction. But perhaps it would help if I told you one of the “Lemmy” replacements was the proper noun “Luna” --> Do you know what Luna needs most?

            It is not Asimov, but it is one of his peers – another giant of science fiction of the era.
