- Yes. "Leave it to Psmith," however, delivers more, IMO.
-
- A less known Psmith novel is "Psmith Journalist" in which Psmith takes over
- (ably aided by Mike Jackson) the running of a newspaper in New York City (while
- its editor is away on vacation in Europe). Bold policy decisions about the rag's
- future result in its departing from a conservative "family" magazine dwelling
- on suburban domestics, to the exciting world of exposing crime. Psmith,
- needless to say, is an "investigative reporter" of no mean calibre.

- Psmith flirting with crime is a potent motif. The following advert for
- employment from "Leave it to Psmith," for example, is a work of art.
