| | CHAPTER II - MEETING JOSEPH PULITZER |
 | | Joseph Pulitzer was born in the village of Mako, near Budapest in Hungary, on April 10, 1847. |
 | | Joseph Pulitzer, as I knew him twenty-four years after he had been driven from active life by the sudden and final collapse of his health, was a man who could be judged by no common standards, for his feelings, his temper, and his point of view had been warped by years of suffering. |
 | | Pulitzer's good graces, it was as necessary to avoid being too funny as it was to avoid being too dull, for, while the latter fault hurt his intellectual sensitiveness, the former involved, through the excessive laughter it produced, a degree of involuntary exertion which, in his disordered physical condition, caused him acute pain. |
