"In 1998, a reporter for The Austin American Statesman examined University of Texas records on Mr. Whitaker. He reported that Trevanian earned his doctorate in communications and film from Northwestern University, had been chairman of the communications division at Dana College in Blair, Neb., and served in the Navy during the Korean War. He later won a Fulbright scholarship to study in England."
