Good gravy! Not only is washed-up minor league phenom Elmer Mulroy out in the very worst way, he’s still breezing around the same old no-tell. The one a way out where the high desert takes over and even Vegas’s blazing outskirts fade to black. The one where not even a naked showgirl and a pile of blow can kill the bitter taste of a shipwrecked dream. And we’re not talking to a degree; no, we’re talking every last staggering iota of him. As and sensible dust-to-duster might say, talk about going from bad to worse! Why, it’s gotten so a guy can’t depend on anything anymore, resting in peace included. There’s only one way to sort it all out now, though: nothing less than a pell-mell odyssey through a pretty darned checkered career, if not human history itself. And that’s without even mentioning all the real deadbeats a pretty irked spook is all but bound to bump into when it comes to strapping on the old snowshoes and embarking on anything that drastic.

As the magazine of the Texas Exes, The Alcalde has united alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin for nearly 100 years. The Alcalde serves as an intellectual crossroads where UT's luminaries - artists, engineers, executives, musicians, attorneys, journalists, lawmakers, and professors among them - meet bimonthly to exchange ideas. Its pages also offer a place for Texas Exes to swap stories and share memories of Austin and their alma mater. The magazine's unique name is Spanish for "mayor" or "chief magistrate"; the nickname of the governor who signed UT into existence was "The Old Alcalde."
