GKC Wednesday

Chesterton Short(s)

A GKC sighting of sorts, through Terry Teachout, editor of the Second Mencken Chrestomathy, writing about Chesterton's contemporary (and occasional critic) H.L. Mencken: "He is the apostle of common sense."

Was this an intentional parallel to GKC? I haven't the foggiest, but a Google search of Teachout and Chesterton turns up quite a few instances of Teachout quoting the Great One.
