Abstract

Covering Washington
January 25, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

Few men in public life have ever received more generous treatment from the press than U.S. Senator Herbert Hoover. Correspondents and editorial writers vie with one another in singing his praises. Yet few statesmen have ever been so thin-skinned. Write an uncomplimentary piece in the newspapers or magazines about Mr. Hoover, and you are likely to be visited by one of his bright young henchmen who will want to know just why you did it. It makes one wonder how he will act when the campaign gets under way and his enemies go after him in earnest.
