At 52 Editor Mencken is little changed-stocky, slovenly dressed, wearing the best cravats that 50? can buy, still fond of draught beer and Baltimore seafood. He enjoys playing the piano with the loud pedal pushed down, singing bass in his cups, playing the fiddle Saturday nights in a parlor orchestra.
