I think you should talk to our Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs, Beth Fortune.  Her number is 615-343-1790.  Best of luck with the article.

Subject: Quick question for Vanity Fair article

 

Provost McCarty-

 

I'm a NYC-based journalist and author who's writing an article for Vanity Fair regarding the journalistic practices of The Washington Times, and I wanted to ask you two quick questions about an incident that occurred at Vanderbilt a number of years back and which The Times seems to have gotten somewhat wrong. Please give me a ring at 512-560-2302 at your convenience if you'd be willing to chat for a moment; it shouldn't take any more than two minutes. If you could get back to me today, I'd be extraordinarily grateful.

 

Incidentally, I have a cousin at Vanderbilt; he seems to be enjoying himself, though hopefully not too much.

 

Thanks,

 

Barrett Brown
