Author Duff maintains an insistent pitch of anger that makes the book as uncomfortable as it is meant to be, although the anger at times sounds almost old-fashioned in an age when the gallows take far fewer lives than more modern means of destruction. Author Duff will convince all but the most sadistic reader that the gallows are brutal, and that even the basest criminals are too good for hanging. But all he may accomplish is that reformers will propose some more efficient or humanitarian substitutes for the gallows-such as the neat old guillotine, the quick bullet...

...result, New York has no "community" paper with which readers identify and turn to in trouble, anger or pleasure the way they do to such dailies as the successful Milwaukee Journal or Scripps-Howard's moneymaking Cleveland Press. The city's dailies have given comparatively little continuing coverage to New York's trouble-ridden police department, traffic problems, housing conditions and soaring crime rate. Some of the papers are making tentative and erratic steps in that direction. But for the most part, in their frantic search for readers, New York's dailies have turned to black...
