Ted Crozier, a bald, burly ex-Army colonel, retired to his wife's home town of Clarksville, Tenn., and found public affairs more interesting than the restaurant into which he had sunk some of his service savings. Gesturing with his cigarette holder, he says: "I'm trying to prove you can turn things around." Charlotte Baldwin, the slim, red-haired wife of a dentist from Madisonville...

Instead, he simply repeated the inaccuracies of an earlier Crimson account. In fact, as Professor Bell points...
