...weak-minded; and that he is good-hearted. The first, being conventional, is easily dismissed. Mr. Mencken may ignore it, laugh it off, or, if he chooses, attempt to prove its falsity. In a treacherous mood he may even admit its truth. But the second attack will linger maliciously in the memory of the public for it gives rise to a faint distrust in Mr. Mencken's evil genius...
