Quinn Criticizes Political Satire
"Political satire of today stinks," Dennis Quinn, assistant professor of English said at yesterday's Poetry Hour.
He said it is difficult for any writer to write satire, and this particularly prevails in the United States where the separation of the author from his government is an almost unnavigable channel.

"POLITICIANS have never been popular figures, and have been a favorite subject of attack since the beginning of the ages," Prof. Quinn said.
John Skelton, an English court writer during the era of Henry VIII, was the first example Prof. Quinn used to demonstrate the corruption on clergy and politics.
"From the beginning of politics, pride, ambition, and desire for power have made a living picture of the typical politician."
He said that the 17th and 18th centuries were the height of political satire and included the outstanding genius of Dryden, Swift and Pope.
By means of dramatic inflection, clean diction, and well chosen quotes, Prof. Quinn kept his audience keenly listening throughout the program.
HE READ a selection from Byron's "Vision of Judgment" and explained that the political emphasis of the 19th century turned to liberty. This transition was followed by the French and American Revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Boston "Courier" published an elaborate name-calling satire against Abraham Lincoln in 1864. E. E. Cumming's satire on the death of Warren Harding proved to be provocative and penetrating.
PROFESSOR Quinn continued to read selections from contemporary satirical poetry including a series on Eisenhower's "stag dinners," and "elect me" advertising campaign.

Griddler Charges Model;
Model Charags Griddler
HOLLYWOOD — (UPI) — Photographer's model Myla Miles, 21, signed an assault and battery complaint yesterday claiming she was knocked down by Carl Brettschneider, linebacker for the Detroit Lions professional football team.
Miss Miles, who stands five-foot-one and weighs 125, said the 210-pound griller punched her in the stomach during an argument outside a Sunset Strip night club. Although several other players were present with their dates, none made any effort to help her, she claimed.
"The Reporter magazine is the only source of good 20th century political satire," Prof. Quinn stated. "For the present election it has included two prose satires on parodies of a Nixon and Kennedy speech. Both are interesting examples of style and technique."

Mr. K. Deposed
The rumors began in Vienna this morning when the Austrian, who described himself as a teleprinter operator in the Soviet embassy, called on the UPI and other news agencies and newspaper offices and offered them his "sensational" news.
HIS STORY was that at 4 a.m. Viienne time a coded message was received in the embassy saying that Khrushchev had been deposed and that, because of an "indiscretion" by someone else in the embassy, he had learned contents of the message. He said the official announcement of the Moscow coup would be made tomorrow.
Austrian police said the man produced no papers to prove he was employed by the Soviet embassy.
