...TIME points out [March 14], Alex King might be an ex-cartoonist, ex-artist, ex-editor, ex-playwright, ex-husband, ex-dope addict and ex-writer, but until he becomes an ex-purveyor of truth (even King's brand of truth), he's made...
...Ex marks the spot of Alexander King. He is an ex-illustrator, ex-cartoonist, ex-adman, ex-editor, ex-playwright, ex-dope addict.

A special investigator for the late Senator McCarthy, Rushmore testified...
...Author Shulman looks rather like a hale Oscar Levant, but he writes like a much younger man, say, the undergraduate editor of the University of Minnesota's defunct humor mag Ski-U-Mah. In this book Ski-U-Mah's ex-editor decided to double his literary smileage by combining the thoroughly worked drolleries of army life with the equally well-publicized foibles of exurbia...
