Page vi Image not available The Sacred Cow of Baltimore December 7, 1989, The Sun. [Uncaptioned - title added.] H.L. Mencken, the "Sage of Baltimore," unquestionably the most renowned writer to emerge pore "the Queen City of the Chesapeake," was accused thirty years after his death of anti-Semitic and other nefarious literary ''crimes" based on a new generation's definition of correctness. This cartoon by Kevin Kallaugher (KAL), editorial cartoonist of The Sun, would have delighted Mencken, a thorough-going iconoclast.
