A critical review of Harry Golden’s For 2¢ Plain, noting its mix of crusty essays and nostalgia from Delancey Street to Charlotte, N C. The piece questions the shift from personal essays to fact pieces and highlights Golden as a humane humorist with a strong local voice.
Four foreign students traveled to meet the fat little man who writes across thetlare at 1312 Elizabeth Avenue in Charlotte. They sought his questions and to hear him speak, a task he made easy by captivating them with his talk.
Italian observer Dario Mutti and journalist Golden discuss American government strength and regional power checks. They contrast US federalism with potential dictatorships, noting governors and local contact with officials. They address segregation fears and race, arguing fear stems from realities not hatred, and stress gradual progress through dialogue.
