Quoted Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith by (Naugatuck Daily News)
If opening up your veins at the typewriter and bleeding means something with respect to writing, then it must surely mean all the more when typing with a red ribbon on a Remington 666 typewriter which gives the type slugs the appearance of being covered in blood.Red Smith was asked if turning out a daily column wasn't quite a chore. ... "Why no," dead-panned Red. "You simply sit down at the typewriter, open your veins, and bleed."
---Walter Winchell, April 6, 1949 in the Naugatuck Daily News, p4, column 5
