...frank with you, I was hit because I expressed my opinion about local conditions, in a local paper. I expressed my opinions then and I'll express them again! The blood of my people has been shed in three American wars that America might be a free country and I sure as hell will carry on that tradition. Three people came to me and told me not to start a newspaper. I wondered why! Now, I know why! "It is dangerous for your reputation," one said.

The Republican who got in soon told the State's Attorney, who told the grand jury, that Hayes, Leary & Co., "a small but powerful, ruthless and corrupt group of men." had been running Waterbury's affairs "for personal financial gain and political advancement" at a cost...
Wilder has been noted for his experimentation with techniques of expression; his prize winning play, "Our Town," was produced without scenery.
