His Work
While I have writen many “hard news” stories about business, crime, and politics I am equally drawn to “soft” stories about food, art and popular culture. In this sampling of my work, I cover everything from terrorism (Forewarned) to kitchen design (“A Tribute to Julia Child and Her Kitchens”), Monster Trucks (“Wheels of Fortune”), video games (“Zombies”), biotechnology (The Cell Game), and murder (“Should Johnny Paul Penry Die?”).
