Gossip and Reflections on Muldoon and Stereotypes
A Colonial era column laments Muldoon’s death and recalls his bias against black boxers, then veers into satire about memory and race. It contrasts black and Jewish communities, critiques fixation on money, and muses on social proprieties, with oblique jokes and moral reflections.
Rambling Century of Quips and Quotations Reflected in Letters
A breezy, fragmented reminiscence piece reflects on culture, politics, gender, and social change through quoted banter and anecdotes. It contrasts Europe’s “Bye Four” with America’s “Big Four” railroads, then pivots to conversations about manners, entertainment, and evolving norms from theater to courtship, ending with a dated anecdote about fashion and hair.
