{"value"=>"<p>McKelway joined the magazine's staff in 1933; in 1936 he agreed to become managing editor only if Ross established a clear organizational line between fiction and non-fiction. By this arrangement he was responsible for all the journalism (Fact) while fiction, poetry, and art (Fiction) were handled by Katharine White. He remained Fact editor until 1939, when he became a staff writer. This material includes some correspondence with John O'Hara, S.N. Behrman, and H. L. Mencken, as well as a few personal letters, notes, and two manuscripts of screenplays on which McKelway was a collaborator.</p>"}
