A note from the author: Although much fresh material has been incorporated in this book, the bulk of it has had prior publication [in Scribner's Magazine, The Independent, The Outlook, The Nation, The Century, Saturday Review of Literature, and Harper's Magazine]. [About the author] Silas Bent IV (born May 9, 1882 in Millersburg, Kentucky - d. July 30, 1945 in Greenwich, Connecticut), son of Silas Bent III and Ann Elizabeth (Tyler) Bent was an American journalist, author, and lecturer. He began newspaper work in 1900 in Louisville, Kentucky, on the Louisville Herald. After three years he moved to St. Louis and joined the staff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch as reporter and assistant editor. He was appointed assistant professor of theory and practice of journalism at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, Missouri when the school was opened in 1908, but resigned that position in February 1909 to return to the Post-Dispatch. Later, he did publicity work in Chicago and then spent 13 years in New York City. As a freelance writer he contributed articles to The New York Times, Harper's Weekly and The Atlantic among others. Bent's most famous work is Ballyhoo (1927), a critical survey of newspaper practices; he also wrote Strange Bedfellows (1929), a book on contemporary political leaders; a biography of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Buchanan of the Press (Vanguard Press, 1932), a novel about a reporter's career set in St. Louis. He died in 1945 and is buried in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
