A thorough Southerner, member of an exalted Dixie family, rich, and venerated in his native Nashville, he made the initial mistake, when he conceived the idea of a personal newspaper organ, of choosing Northerners to pilot the sheet. Among those he chose were Editor Herman Suter, a Pennsylvanian, whose only Southern viewpoint was gained while a football star at Sewanee: an ex-AP-er, Smith, whose Yankee tang was all-too-revealing, as managing editor: a chief editorial writer . . . who had a Harvard accent. I was a cub reporter, imported from Washington where...

...looks at himself in the mirror, admiring his lean, dark face, his masterful eyes. He sneaks into his friends' dwellings when they are not there and furtively reads diaries and personal mail. He leans out of the window of his apartment on Plympton Street and wants to kill an editor of the Crimson who is unobtrusively sunning himself on the roof. He artfully spins webs of deception around his acquaintances, lets them in part-way on his secret, laughs at their wholly average protestations...
