...sub-text of the diary--Mencken the man--is harder to decode. Though the one-time founder and editor of the American Mercury was a literary critic who prided himself on sifting through other writers' pomposity, he seemed to find his own methods of criticism strangely removed from his life.

"A terrible outrage . . . an unbridled act of aggression!" cried Greenpeace's executive director as the group prepared legal action against the Navy. Just | outside the launch area, the battle -- and the test-firing -- were monitored by a Soviet trawler bristling with electronic...
