Crowley and His Tweets

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 13 Jul 2021 10:00:00 +0000

Crowley and his Tweets? Originally published in the Gainesville Times on September 27, 1988, Prof. Taylor examines the case of a young, sinister criminal called Francis "Two Gun" Crowley. You may glean a few takeaways from this story, but if there's any one in particular above the rest, it's that a little love often goes…… Continue reading Crowley and His Tweets

Laughing Matter? Sheer Lunacy!

Crime scenes a laughing matter? Hold that thought. Success! I am pleased to say that, after 15 months' thumb-twiddling in Covid Purgatory, I was finally able to access the Gainesville Times archive and retrieve the final 25 columns written by my father. Maybe that's begging the question a tad. The Times' archive had been relocated…… Continue reading Laughing Matter? Sheer Lunacy!

Poor Mary Rogers. Same old story. Beauty meets the Beast. Beast Wins. That's what happens outside of Hollywood, anyway. Stinging, cold truth. Prof. Alex Taylor presents Mary Rogers' case below, as published in the Gainesville Times, Tuesday, March 29, 1988. In a way, this one reminds me of the O.J. Simpson circus. Maybe the truth…… Continue reading Dumping Mary Rogers

Beasts — Simon Sleeps, Simon Says

(not Simon!) Alex Taylor's "Beasts" series continues with homicidal sleepwalking zombies — three words I would have heavily wagered to never type together. Alas, they exist, and you can further research them HERE. Featured in the Gainesville Times, March 8, 1988, Prof. Alex Taylor tells of a one Simon Fraser. No, not the Jacobite clan…… Continue reading Beasts — Simon Sleeps, Simon Says

DC’s Race Track and Old Fake News

T. Nelson Taylor — Tue, 17 Sep 2019 13:42:00 +0000

This Prof. Alex Taylor column originally appeared in the Gainesville Times December 1, 1987. I am always amazed — many times startled — when historical articles ring true of that often-repeated diatribe, "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it." Such is the case when I reviewed the second half of my father's column…… Continue reading DC’s Race Track and Old Fake News

I am incredibly pleased to republish my father’s crime and history column which first appeared in Georgia's Gainesville Times in the Fall of 1987. Many thanks to Shannon Casas, Editor in Chief at The Times. Brief Bio: E. Alexander Taylor, faced with being drafted by the military, hitchhiked along with a cousin and a buddy…… Continue reading Brash, Young Journalist was a Crusader
