The comforting New York Times asked: "Is life worth living?" answered: "Of course life is worth living," mentioned a few of the things worth living for: "... a majestic sunset or moonrise ... an understanding look in another person's eyes. . . ." The crusading New York Post noted the extensive efforts to save the suicide, asked: "If so much could be mobilized for one man, how much could be accomplished by a fully awakened common effort against hunger, slums and sickness?" The philosophic Washington Post considered...
