Charles Van Doren, Quiz-Show Whiz Who Really Wasn't, R.I.P.

Charles Van Doren, the Columbia University English professor who became the most acclaimed of all the big-money quiz show contestants in the 1950s who then fessed up to Congress that it was all a scam, passed away on Tuesday in Canaan, Connecticut at age 93.

Mr. Van Doren's passing was due to natural causes.
