Summary
When we talk of “the public” we really mean the persons who compose it. The so-called “public” is merely an illusion, a will o’ the wisp, a vanishing spectre. Mr. Walter Lippmann has called it a “phantom”. Professor Dewey describes it as “not only a ghost, but a ghost which walks and talks and obscures, confuses and misleads governmental action in a disastrous way.”
