Meet John Doe1941

Ann Mitchell: [in her newspaper column] Below is a letter which reached my desk this morning. It's a commentary on what we laughingly call a civilized world. Dear Miss Mitchell: Four years ago, I was fired out of my job. Since then, I haven't been able to get another one. At first, I was sore at the state administration because it's on account of the slimy politics here. We have all this unemployment. But in looking around, it seems the whole world is goin' to pot. So in protest, I'm goin' to commit suicide by jumping off the City Hall roof. Signed, a disgusted American citizen. John Doe. Editor's Note: If you ask this column, the wrong people are jumping off the roofs.
