The "best," while it means good writing, means also that it shall say something. The most desired writer in the magazine office is the man who has something to say, and knows how to say it. Variety requires that there shall be many of these writers, and it is the editor's business to ferret them out. It stands to reason, therefore, that there can be no such thing as a "clique"; limitation by the editor of his list of authors would mean being limited to the style of the few and the thoughts of a handful. And with a public that easily tires even of the best where it continually comes from one source, such an editorial policy would be suicidal.

白话
所谓“最好”，既指文笔好，也指有内容可说。杂志最想要的作者是既有东西要说、又知道怎么说的人。多样性要求有很多这样的作者，编辑的任务就是把他们找出来。因此不可能有“小圈子”；如果编辑只限用少数作者，风格和思想都会受限。读者即使面对最好的内容，若总来自同一来源也会厌倦，这种编辑策略等于自杀。所以编辑要主动挖掘新作者，保持来源多元。
上下文
博克继续阐述杂志编辑的选稿原则，强调内容与多样性并重。
