...Your Essay has left me a broken man. I am a 45-year-old bachelor. I write books for a living, reside in a cozy cabin near a rural trout stream, have a wonderful platonic relationship with a divorcee who lives down the road, and enjoy occasional outside dates. For years, I have believed that I was enjoying a state of contentment that is rare on this earth-and that I was presenting an enviable public image. Now, with lightning suddenness, I learn that I am nothing but a psychopath and an object of public pity. Melancholy has gripped...

...homeowner happens to be former Governor Orval Faubus, who served six two-year terms before stepping down, voluntarily, in 1966. The boy from Greasy Creek-the ruins of his log cabin birthplace are just 15 miles from his present home-came into office in 1955, owning one weekly newspaper. By being "frugal" with his $10,000-a-year gubernatorial salary, as he puts it, he managed to acquire four more weeklies, and some real estate in Huntsville, as well as the big house on the hill (which drew 1,100 paying guests during the first weekend it was open...
