Synopsis coming soon.......

Ring Lardner's influence on American letters is arguably greater than that of any other American writer in the early part of the twentieth century. Ron Rapoport has gathered the best of Lardner's journalism from his earliest days at the South Bend Times through his years at the Chicago Tribune and his weekly column for the Bell Syndicate.

Presents a story of what happens in 1940s America when a honest young man, with no strong religious affiliation, marries a Roman Catholic woman. This book dissects the thought control of the McCarthy era, business ethics, racial intolerance, attitudes toward sex, the Manhattan night-club set, judicial procedures, and other social phenomenon.
