An adoring prostitute kept him in meals and clothes; a mousy ingenue housed him (he left her pregnant); a nymphomaniac stage star married him and later took an overdose of morphine after he divorced...
...newspapers. From North Carolina, for instance, came Jack Riley, recently Sunday editor of the Raleigh News and Observer and now journalism professor at the University of North Carolina; George McCoy, managing editor of the Asheville Citizen; Henry Coble, telegraph editor for the Greensboro News; and LeGette Blythe, onetime college pal of the late Thomas Wolfe and former Charlotte newspaperman. Blythe has just published his sixth book, a Biblical novel entitled Tear for Judas. He took time off from the convention to sign copies of it for Atlanta bookstores...
