Luis R. Mauricio, editor of the GRAPHIC, presents the latest collection of pieces by Renato Constatino. This time, Mauricio selects essays of Constantino whose subject is the first family. In making this collection, the compiler tries to reveal before the reader another facet of the Constantino the political satirist. Many of the essays in the present collection are treated in the light vein. In his introduction, Mauricio "The tuya is the aristocrat of satire and perhaps the most difficult to handle. If one is not careful, the satire may fall flat and the handler may become disastrously ridiculous. But handled properly, its sting is deadly and impervious; deadly, because its victim could be slain with laughter and derision; impervious, because against it there is no defense and from it there is no recourse to libel laws."
Mauricio claims that in the satirical essays in the collection, Constantino has succeeded - and succeeded well - in reviving what since the 30's had become a lost art. "But Mr. Constantino, as this volume clearly demonstrates, has added one element to its revival. That element is social awareness merged with nationalist orientation."
