Right thing to do

If i were to be in Charles Van Doren's shoes, I think i would have done the same. Being Charles Van Doren, an American Intellectual, professor and writer. a well educated person who place education first. I think i would confess my guilt because I have deceived many who look up upon me as a symbol of intellectual and knowledge by involving myself in this kind of entertainment-business scandal. For example, My father is a very well-known prize winning poet whose son were involved in a scandal. The son himself whose also well known for his own achievement, to live in this guilt, to go on carrying the responsibility and lies in his life. I dont think this is possible for him to do, as an educated person, confessing his guilt is the only solution to clear his name as well as his mistake.
