Langston probably went along for many years doing right, then did wrong. Then how do you classify the doing wrong part of him. One way is to put him in jail.

Hopefully you'll arrive at the Jubilee tomorrow and we can have a beer. Luckily I made it through finals OK. I forgot to ask Judge Mills in my motion to open the letters after finals. On another subject, I just got back from the Fedex office in Tupelo (they had the wrong address and I needed my package) and spoke with a driver from Booneville. Without saying much on my roll as a journalist in the case we talked about Joey Langston at length. He repeated all the good things the letters said. He also said most lawyers in his area are just out to make a quick buck, Langston was always in a law suit to help his client. Before I left the driver said, "If I could I would take Joey's place in prison, he would do a lot more good for Booneville than I ever would." I just though that was very interesting, he said he didn't write a letter, but should have. Ben: Your words mean a lot to me, thank you.

Hold my beer. I gotta good idea: Let's start a letter-writing campaign telling Quinn's professors what a great job he is doing as an apprentice journalist and ask for lenity in grading his exams. I'd give him no less than an A. Hey … Hold my beer.

I suppose we'll see. Point taken, NMC, but I would imagine that as at Ole Miss, a number of Millsaps alums (and perhaps board members) would cast a cold and fishy eye on such a thing.

There's a policy against it at Ole Miss as I understand it. Since it’s a private institution, Dragoman, I guess that’s between her and her board.
