journalism - Selected Clips

I've worked as a journalist for 31 years, including the last 26 years as my primary profession. I'm in the process of tracking down some of my favorite stories that are available on-line and posting a selection of them here. I'll continue to add stories as I have time, and I hope eventually to share an assortment of my work as a baseball writer, theater critic, investigative reporter, environmental writer, political reporter, Arts and Entertainment Editor, and Sports Editor. I hope you enjoy this insight into my professional career, and I hope you find a story or two of interest to you. Please pardon the "under construction" nature of this page.
