I found TVR's lead paragraphs interesting enough to bet a few dollars
on a subscription. ("Bet" in the sense of "betting" that I'd get enough
entertainment, education, interest, or whatever else out of it to make
me feel I was getting my money's worth.) So far I'm coming out ahead of
the game.

If I read only those media whose principles, or whose authors'
principles, I agreed with one hundred percent, I'd be restricting myself
to my own notes.
