^Hutchens, John K. Notes on the Late Dr. John R. Brinkley, Whom Radio Raised to a Certain Fame. New York Times. June 7, 1942 [2009-05-07]. (原始内容存档于2019-06-09). Although other men have put the air-waves to more dangerous uses than did the late Dr. John Romulus Brinkley, the recent demise of that celebrated quack not only recalled a gaudy career but may have reminded you of a truth so obvious that it goes half-forgotten – i.e., how mighty a force is radio for evil as well as good, even in a democracy.
