Howard Jacobs was one of America's most widely read--and quoted--newspaper columnists. A native Louisianian, Jacobs wrote for the New Orleans Times-Picayune for more than twenty-five years. His column "Rémoulade" (a Creole sauce) featured anecdotes, humor, and malapropisms. The late Ray Erwin, longtime columnist for Editor and Publisher, acclaimed Jacobs' writings as "a peppery, zestful, spicy, piquant, appetizing concoction confected by a master columninst-chef." Jacobs' work has appeared in virtually every major newspaper in the nation, as well as in numerous magazines, including Reader's Digest, Newsweek, V.I.P., and the Saturday Evening Post.
