He is past president of the National Society of Newspaper Columnists and a former Fulbright scholar. He has won a few journalism awards, but would trade them all for a chance to avenge his 1994 “Jeopardy!” loss.

At the U-T, Rowe writes profiles and features and is even paid to review beers, which hardly seems fair.
