A time to laugh and a time to die

Abstract

DURING THE 1930's The New Yorker carried a series of pieces by Leonard Q Ross (Leo C Rosten). The theme was the mangling and mauling of the English language by a recent immigrant to the United States—a fat, funny Pole called Hyman Kaplan. In 1937 the stories were published under the title The education of Hyman Kaplan.
