After his mother's death, in 1920 he ambled onto the University of Arkansas, where he was immensely popular and immensely relaxed. "I guess all the boys were lazy," recalls a college chum, "but Ed was more than ordinary lazy."

I used to feel very unattractive to men, but since so many of them want to pay me ... I guess I can't be all that unattractive." Largely because of their uncertainty about father and mother. 15 of the 20 had homosexual relations.
