Biography
An investigative journalist with 45 years at the New York Times and a member of a Pulitzer-winning team. He co-signed the 2017 report that broke the serious press's silence on the Pentagon's AATIP program; his prior track record in organized crime and politics gave him the institutional weight needed so the revelation could not be dismissed as enthusiasts' fare. He later wrote the biography of psychiatrist John Mack.
