...tough-guy cynicism was only a professional pose, wholly out of character with his personal feelings of shyness, insecurity and educational inadequacy. He vented his frustrations at the typewriter. Those who knew him best preferred the private Pegler. "Somebody should take the hide off Peg," wrote Fellow Columnist Heywood Broun when Pegler was on top, "because the stuff inside is so much better than the varnished surface."

"Never," he writes, "was a more fascinating and gifted company assembled" by any newspaper anywhere. Nor, perhaps, was a more inveterately awful group of punsters ever assembled. During a discussion of German poets, for example, Krock recalls that Swope asked his editors...
