Public Letters Mix Civics and Satire in Patchy Column
A garbled column blends remarks on Calvin Coolidge, political power, and a long digression on fame and thrift. It mentions Coolidge’s reluctance to capitalize his influence before a jury, future magazine articles, and a note about Taggart’s death at 72. The piece shifts to reflections on Woodrow Wilson, Olive Lodge, and a gloomily philosophical aside about death and heaven, then veers to Hollywood drug debates and public danger, ending with a cliffhanger note for continued coverage.
