...story of Rolland L. Dean who, after graduation from Yale in 1923, became editor and publisher of the Sanford, Fla., Daily Herald. The big man of Sanford was Forrest Lake, mayor for 20 years, president of the most potent local bank, business and social dictator. Editor Dean, naturally enough, was taken into the friendship of Mayor Lake. But in 1926, Editor Dean discovered that Mayor Lake had pocketed the difference between $100 and $95.10 on a number of town bonds which he had sold to Manhattan financiers. He immediately published the story, beginning: "An optimist is a man who sells...

Alice in Wonderland is a joke that some see, and some, deserving pity rather than scorn, do not. The same categories apply to the joke by Alice Jr.'s father, Colyumist Hope of the New York Herald-Tribune. Though his verse falls far short of Lewis Carroll's the narrative (packed as it is with social & political quips, flagrant puns and rare etymology) does credit to the English mathematician, and surpasses in satire more serious-minded modern U. S. Jeremiads. So also Rea Irvin's illustrations, which are excellently done...
