American novelist and short-story writer Ann Beattie was born on this day in Washington, D.C. (1947). It was also this day in 1892 that an early version of the Pledge of Allegiance appeared in a magazine called "The Youth’s Companion." And, in 1952 on this day "The Old Man and the Sea" was published, Ernest Hemingway's last novel.
There seems to be a huge mistake in this Ann Beattie profile. Her mentor at UConn was not the author John O’Hara but UConn professor J. D. O’Hara. Who edited this?
