The Press: Did Horace Turn?
(3 of 3)
"I am eager to press on and to describe in detail how I wooed and won her in the face of opposition, and to tell you why my marriage, a love match pure and simple, was the climax of my life."
As a sidelight on the wave of publicity which deluged his recent marriage, the Count, in adding to it, remarked :
"Happily, I am not 'insular' or 'prejudiced.' I know America as well as I know Europe, and journalistic enterprise is one of the things your great country has produced which both amuse and amaze me."
While these stories were appearing the Hearst press carried the information that Guglielmo Marconi, seeing the Count and Countess dancing in Paris, remarked: "This is the finest mated couple I have ever seen in my life. Their 'waves' must be exactly the same length."
*Charles Dana, quite as famed as Greeley, would not have turned. It was Dana who said: "Get the paper talked about."
