Alan Hathway

Alan Bonnell Hathway (May 22, 1906 – April 15, 1977) was an editor at Newsday, a daily newspaper for the Long Island suburbs of New York City, from the early 1940s until 1970. He began as city editor, then became managing editor and eventually executive editor.[1] He was often characterized as an old-style newspaperman similar to those in the play The Front Page.[1][2][3]

In the 1930s and 1940s, Hathway was also a pulp fiction writer. He wrote several Doc Savage novels under the pseudonym Kenneth Robeson in the early 1940s.[4]

gollark: Oh, and if for some reason you're an *incredibly* self-confident person who thinks all acts they do are right, you'll turn out maximally non-evil.
gollark: Being vaguely aware of that sort of thing, and also that I live in a relatively comfortable position in what is among the richest societies ever, I feel bad about *not* doing more things, which would cause me to be more evil than someone who just ignores this issue forever, which is not, according to arbitrary moral intuitions I have™, something which an evilness measuring thing should say.
gollark: With any actual planning you can just give away as much as reasonably possible. It's just an issue of good management of stuff.
gollark: There are *not* that many people who actually go to the logical conclusion of that line of thinking and go "guess I'll donate all my excess income to charities".
