"Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" writer, 1941 (4)

I believe the answer is:

agee

(Other definitions for agee that I've seen before include "off the straight on Princes Street" , "off the straight at Gleneagles" , "In Ayr not straight" , "American writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
