Anecdotes and political quirks from a bygone era
A garbled column-like mix of anecdotes and social satire recounts Corwin’s unlikely campaign tale, a caveat about elite pretensions, and quips from public figures. It also includes jokes about a railroad collision seat choice and light rural stories from Yonkers, Saginaw, Dallas, and medical advice in brisk, old newspaper voice.
