It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | January 16, 1929 issue

Newspapers are at their worst in dealing with any public figure who furnishes front page stuff. Possibly it is asking too much to demand that the reporter should guffaw openly at every clown who offers him a generous amount of copy with which to magnify his space string, but the editorial writers have no stake in aiding the performance of each local show-off. In other words, there is no sharp derision aimed at the antics of Grover Whalen, the current Police Commissioner of New York. Until a little while ago Mr. Whalen was the city's official greeter and an executive of manmaker's big department store.
