Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good

A. E. Hotchner fully intended to be a career lawyer, but after two stultifying years practicing with a St. Louis law firm, he escaped into the wild blue yonder of the Air Force, vowing never to look at another Corpus Juris Secundum. After the war, Hotch became a literary bounty hunter, and in the process met Ernest Hemingway, with whom he buddied around for fourteen years, an adventurous period that Hotch chronicled in Papa Hemingway. In between selling salad dressing, Hotch has written fifteen books, a dozen plays and musicals, and scores of television dramas. In 1999, Washington University conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Letters to go along with his Doctor of Law degree, but he is proudest of the fact that he was crowned marbles champion of St. Louis when he was in the sixth gradeNewman, Paul is the author of 'Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Good', published 2004 under ISBN 9780786262304 and ISBN 0786262303.
