Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun

Broun, Heywood | March 13, 1929 issue

Here seems to be a standing assignment in the office of every high-school paper which reads: "Send somebody to interview a columnist." This is not said plaintively. Interviewing is a form of flattery. People can become sick unto death of flattery but that would seem to me a beautiful way to die. At the present time the author have no fair cause for complaint, because he publicly printed his telephone number and said that he would meet all and any who wanted an interview.
