George Walton Greene

GEORGE GREEN, who has been occupied at various times as a truck driver, bartender, and farm hand, returned to Holy Cross after two and a half years in the Army. At college he contributed short stories to the college monthly, The Purple, graduated with the class of 1948, and then took his M. A. at Harvard, where he worked under Professor Albert Guerard, Jr., in the Modern Novel. This is his first story to appear in the Atlantic.

“What chance has an honorable man … against men whose business is to ‘fix’ primaries and ‘pack’ conventions by stuffing ballot boxes and ejecting duly elected delegates?”
