Abstract

The Man with One Idea
Paterson, Isabel | April 13, 1932 issue

The article presents information on the book "The Tragedy of Henry Ford," by Jonathan Norton Leonard. Tragedies that provide almost continuous laughter are rather rare. Yet this book, on the whole, justifies its title; though opened at random it will evoke a smile, and several episodes are as uproariously comic as the broader farce scenes of "Penguin Island." And nowhere has the author striven for comic effect. On the contrary, he has exercised commendable restraint, realizing that it would be impossible to invent U.S. automobile manufacturer Henry Ford and injudicious to touch him up.
