Shoot the Works! Nobody could accuse Heywood Broun of misanthropy. Weighed down by public woe, he has run for Congress on the Socialist ticket, flayed Mayor Walker in his World-Telegram colyum, and now, saddened by the plight of the jobless actors, has staged a cooperative revue.

...complete the Tribune's discomfiture, Journalist Heywood Broun of the New York World-Telegram devoted a day's column to the obituary, saying: "The incident raises the whole question of what differentiation should be made between criticism of the quick and of the dead. It is familiar journalistic practice to take back a great deal about any opponent as soon as he has safely departed from life. I think this constitutes a faulty method...
