OT: Sorry for butting in and going off topic, but I ran across an investigative journalist (now deceased) whose books looked interesting—Robert I. Friedman. He seems to be very well regarded, so I just wanted to run his name by you guys and see what you had to say, if anything.

Here are a couple of links about him & his career:

Fund For Investigative Journalism: Robert I. Friedman Award

Village Voice: Inconvenient Truth

I do realize that the world has moved on since he died in 2002, and much may have changed since the publication of his earlier works, but I’m intrigued nonetheless. Anyone care to give me their $0.02?
