The Comedic Inquisition

By Thomas C. Donovan | January 25, 2002

To the Editor: I have a brief word concerning the Jan. 23 column in The Dartmouth, "The Death of Laughter," by Assistant Professor Steve Swayne: I am quite pleased that most of our society can appreciate the wonderful works of Mel Brooks, including his script for the musical and film "The Producers."
