Scott Payne

Scott Payne, who turns 85 this year, is a retired journalist and novelist. He enlisted in the Army after wrapping up his studies at the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas. He worked as a counterintelligence investigator in Korea, Vietnam and—worst of all, he says—Washington, D.C. He is delighted with the president's criticism of the drive-by media which, he believes, lost its soul late in the 20th century.
