page 7:
Willie Morris first came to widespread public attention as the crusading editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper, The Daily Texan, in 1955-56 at the University of Texas. In that era, children, there was only one UT campus, and it was in Austin.

In 2006 I heard Larry King speak at the Texas Book Festival in Austin. He was in a story telling mood and In Search of Willie Morris had just been published. He spoke about a time when he visited Willie in New York and Willie, Larry, and several other friends stayed up into the wee hours of the morning telling stories - and having a few (or more) drinks. After everyone had gone upstairs and were sound asleep, Larry got up - went downstairs to Willie's library - had another drink or two. Then he began taking books off the shelves and inscribing them with each author's name.
"All the best to Willie Morris. Mark Twain."
"Best wishes, Willie. Chaucer."
