H. L. Mencken by Gore Vidal
<http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/mencken.htm>
In addition to the racist slurs in his private letters, he was also a goldbug, adamantly opposed to the New Deal, and quite open with his hostility to democracy. I'd wager that the last, however, did well-equip him to skewer popular lunacies.
-- Shane, who owns both of Mencken's Chrestomathies
