Description
Since 1974, I have been a fiercely independent investigative journalist, who has concentrated, for the most part, on investigations of the Mafia. During my turbulent career--which has now yielded eight true-crime books--I have become widely known as one of the most daring and controversial reporters in America.
But, as an unabashed political lefty and a long-time streetfighter who refuses to take a punch without fighting back, I have made nearly as many enemies as friends, burning nearly as many bridges as I've built. I have taken on such powerful institutions as the Mafia, the Teamsters, Simon & Schuster, the Reagan White House, MCA, the National Rifle Association, the Los Angeles Police Department, the FBI and the Department of Justice, the National Football League, the legal and illegal gambling communities, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Kenneth Starr and the Office of the Independent Counsel, and the political right wing, as well as a variety of politicians, organized-crime figures, white-collar criminals, and murderers.
Furthermore, in what many still consider an act of journalistic heresy--apart from my 1990-1994 libel suit against the New York Times--I served as Larry Flynt's lead investigator for eight weeks during his monumental crusade to expose President Bill Clinton's enemies who had conflicting standards of private behavior for public officials: One for those they like, and another for those they don't like. Specifically, my work for Flynt led to the dramatic resignation of U. S. House Speaker-designate Bob Livingston--the climactic moment that derailed the entire impeachment-and-removal process against the President, and, arguably, helped to foil a right-wing attempt to overthrow the Executive Branch of the United States Government. For this, I make no apology.
