How Mencken Can Write
HIS campaign will liven right
up if Henry Mencken, the of­
ficial human gumboil of the writ­
ing craft, takes pen in hand to dis­
cuss the men and the issues. You
don’t have to agree with Hen. You
may quarrel with his premises and
dispute his conclusions.
But can he make the language
pop like a bull-whip! When he gets
excited he throbs like a mashed
thumb, and cuts loose like an
avenging angel. Expressing him­
self, he always picks words of the
right shape and the right color.
