[edit]I realize that this article (which I just created) comes perilously close to being a "familiar quotations" article. Nonetheless, I think it belongs in wikipedia.
- For obvious reasons, we need articles on First Estate, Second Estate, and Third Estate. Someone who had heard the term "Fourth Estate" but did not know what it meant would be bewildered by the lack of this article.
- I think that the article could profitably be expanded from a mere origin-of-the-term to discuss the emergence of the political power of the press with the dawn of the modern era (i.e., from the time of Gutenberg onward). However, I personally don't have the inclination to write that article in the near future.
