- catalog abstract "From the earliest colonial times to the present day, American writers have been taking deadly aim at sacred cows. This unique anthology brings together the most telling of these ferociously funny, on-target attacks - from Thomas Morton's poison pen commentary on Puritan New England to the best shots of such hilarious contemporary heavy hitters as Russell Baker, Kurt Vonnegut, and Molly Ivins.
