...than three years ago Mr. Bessie was an editor of this paper. He received a Harvard magna cum laude degree, and "Jazz Journalism," which is dedicated to a member of the History department, is illustrative of the shallow scholarship that Harvard too often teaches.

...good the debts and errors of a youthful stage in the life of an otherwise clean-cut & lovable boy of 27. Since our being together, he has never gambled or drunk-because I never have done either. ... I personally was born & bred in the West-and my reputation is flawless.
