[2] Meryle Secrest, Somewhere for Me: A Biography of Richard Rodgers (2002): "Milton G. 'Doc' Bender was always somewhere in the background: 'a very devious, nefarious, strange man who preyed on the weaknesses of men basically homosexual', as [Gary] Stevens said of him. Claiming to be their manager, he procured booze and boys. 'He did it to [Lorenz] Hart and he did it to another man, Harry Revel, who was a big songwriter, of the [Mack] Gordon and Revel team, supplying him with boys for money. Harry Revel had to go to ASCAP to get advance money' to pay Bender off."
