In this chapter, the author reflects on William Faulkner's influence on her and on other Southern writers. The author says it would be impossible to think of Oxford, Mississippi without thinking of Faulkner, its most famous citizen. She recalls growing up in Carrollton, but admits that it took her many long years in associating Oxford and the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) with Faulkner. It wasn't until she was in her early twenties and in graduate school at Vanderbilt that the author realized she must find out more about Faulkner. She began reading some of Faulkner's novels, including The Hamlet, Go Down, Moses and The Collected Stories. Critics inevitably compared her to Faulkner because of resemblances between their works. The author also reflects on three unanswered questions about Faulkner's work: his nihilism, his treatment of women characters, and the fictional Snopes family in his novels.

The 2018-2019 NCAA men’s basketball tournament featured 32 automatic qualifiers and 36 at-large selections. A new metric, College Basketball Rating (CBR), agrees with 30 of the 36 at-large selections but disagrees with the other six teams. CBR finds St. John’s, Temple, Seton Hall, Ole Miss, Baylor, and Minnesota unworthy of an at-large selection and instead prefers Clemson, Texas, Lipscomb, Nebraska, NC State, and TCU. In the most extreme case, CBR identifies 45 non-tournament teams more deserving of an at-large selection than St. John’s. This paper highlights the numerous benefits of CBR and presents strong evidence in favor of its use in determining future NCAA tournament at-large selections.

Ole Miss

John Maxey, a white lawyer, grew up in North Mississippi. He’d been educated in white segregated schools, attended a white church, and was a member of a prominent all-white social fraternity. In 1968, having recently graduated from Ole Miss Law School, he agreed to represent black parents suing to desegregate the public schools in Holly Springs. John was stunned when a revered former law professor and county judge angrily confronted him and declared, “You represent the greatest threat to Holly Springs since Ulysses S. Grant.”...
