Political jests and social quips ripple through papers
A collage of satirical items covers politicians, lawyers, and public figures. Remarks mock Edmunds Hazen and Keifer, note a death rumor about Hank Monk, and recount slang about lawyers and reporters. Quips touch on philanthropy, theater, photographers, and odd local incidents with sharp humor.
