Cardozo defended the NY Globe from Masterson's libel suit, and his post has some great exchanged between Masterson and Cardozo.
Masterson's last words, found in the paper in the typewriter where he died--
There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I can't see it that way.
