This article focuses on the book "Lazy Laughter," by Woodward Boyd. The book reveal, a healthy disdain for inaction, but it would seem to be of the unquestioning, naive variety, since it gives no hint of any possible work better worth doing than remaining idle, the implication apparently being that one should work for work's sake. Mete activity as such has little mote in its favor than quiescence, a discovery that the sons and grandsons of self-made men are making, not without bitterness. Here is material for a drama of our generation quite as absorbing as the older one having to do with man's development of a newly discovered continent.
