Anybody would think another Oldham Style would fit better? JDB case text citation: Henry Louis Mencken (1880 - 1956) by Gibbons Burke Mencken's writing is endearing because of its wit, its crisp style, and the obvious delight he takes in it. The Introduction to The Impossible H.L. Mencken: A Collection of His Best Newspaper Stories, edited by Marion Elizabeth Rodgers which relates Mencken's manner while reporting on the presidential conventions: No other entertainment gave him greater pleasure than reporting from the conventions; nor did anyone appreciate his efforts more than Mencken himself. One reporter, peering through Mencken's window late at night after one rally, recalled watching him at work alone in his hotel room, pounding out copy on a typewriter propped on a desk. He would type a few sentences, read them, slap his thigh, toss his head back, and roar with laughter. Then he would type some more lines, guffaw, and so on until the end of the article. A cigar jammed in the side of Mencken's mouth completes the image. Rare is the picture of him without one in a hand, his mouth, or a nearby ashtray. (His father was the owner of Baltimore's Mencken Cigar Company, which provided Mencken his first gainful employment, which he ditched not long after his father's death to become a cub reporter.) Here's Mencken's assessment of life in the United States:

He had good Jewish friends but also poked fun at them; which you can only do when you have quite a bit self confidence (since the publishing industry has quite a strong Jewish lobby) JDB Henry Louis Mencken, American Iconoclast Rich (172.172.216.112) Misantropic tinge?

Extractions: "For e v e r y complex problem there is an a n s w e r that is clear, simple, a n d wrong." ~ H.L. Mencken Outspoken journalist Henry Louis Mencken (18801956), the "Bard of Baltimore," wrote satire and astute social commentary at a time when his words needed to be expressed. "I do not believe in democracy," Mencken declared, " but I am perfectly willing to admit that it provides the only really amusing form of government ever endured by mankind." From 1910-1940, the prolific Mencken was considered by many to be an important literary figure in the United States. Savagely witty and honest , he poked fun at popular beliefs and stirred up controversy with his criticism of Franklin D. Roosevelt and New Deal politics. He wrote for the Baltimore Sun , co-founded and edited the American Mercury , and brilliantly reported on Clarence Darrow 's famous Scopes Monkey Trial. "Conscience," he observed. "The inner voice which warns us that someone may be looking." In addition to over 2,000 book reviews and his work The American Language , Mencken wrote books that profiled George Bernard Shaw and Friedrich Nietzsche For an epitaph, the articulate Mencken wrote in 1921: "If, after I depart this vale, you

He also played a key role in the production of two extremely influential national magazines. From 1914 to 1923 he was coeditor of the Smart Set with George Jean Nathan ; together they founded the American Mercury in 1924, and Mencken was its sole editor from 1925 to 1933. Mencken's pungent, iconoclastic criticism and scathing invective, although aimed at all smugly complacent attitudes, was chiefly directed at what he saw as the ignorant, self-righteous, and overly credulous American middle class, members of which he dubbed Boobus americanus.

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin. A good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar. Those who can do. Those who can't teach. Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later, for another thing, they die earlier. Opera in English is, in the main, just about as sensible as baseball in Italian.
