James
Paul is a Sunday news editor at the New York Post and Susannah's mentor. He's a large man, though he's very comforting, and he uses extremely colorful language. He gave Susannah her first chance at being a reporter when she was a sophomore in college, and has mentored her ever since. Susannah describes him as an overwhelmingly masculine individual: he regularly gambles, eats burgers with gravy, and parties hard. Though he worries about Susannah when he sees her after her release from the hospital, he does allow Susannah to return to work and quietly helps her with her articles when he sees that she struggles to write coherently.
