Most likely Warren Gamaliel Harding, the much tarnished president of the
Teapot Dome scandal.
 
I am very curious about Pound's attitude towards "Gamaliel". Did he
echo the sentiments of the day concerning Harding? Or, was he
sympathetic to "Gamaliel"?
 
The "hard boiled" newspaper editor might have been Mencken.
