| 词源 | I trust it’s nothing trivial. In his City Editor (1934), Stanley Walker wrote of another city editor, Charles E. Chapin, who was widely respected for his professionalism but generally hat- ed for his cold-hearted efficient methods. Chapin fired 108 men when city editor of the Evening World. When World re- porter Irvin S. Cobb heard he was ill one day, he remarked, “I trust it’s nothing trivial.” Chapin died in 1930 in Sing Sing pris- on, where he was sent after killing his wife. |
