Roosters and a Greeley Prank at the Tribune Press
A former Tribune journalist recalls a prank where two roosters ruined Horace Greeley’s proof sheets. Larkway, the only reader of the editor’s scrawls, misread the inked footed pages as a brilliant gag. Greeley’s editor choked on the accidental political error, declaring the joke unconstitutional.
