[ 4.0 stars ] "The Journalist and the Murderer is really a must-read for aspiring journalists, and writers, and anyone interested in what goes into postmodern character development. Malcom - with whom I disagree, as a human - asserts that there is a cynical and manipulative relationship that governs all interactions between interviewer and interviewed, and to ignore this is to either be disingenuous or naive.

[ 4.0 stars ] "Capt. Jeffery MacDonald was convicted for the murder of his wife and two daughters by a federal court in North Carolina. There has been much to be concerned about his conviction. The judge was related to the prosecutor. Two prosecutors were disbarred within a decade of the verdict. One had executed a series of frauds. The defense allowed a journalist into the defense team hoping to obtain fun ..." Courtesy by Amazon

As a way to raise money for his legal costs and to attempt to tell "the ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 1.0 stars ] ""Do you dig in the soil for a living? Then, regardless of how important your work is, obviously you're guilty of killing millions of microorganisms and should be ashamed of yourself. I sullied my hands with a shovel once or twice, but I know better now. I'm too good for this work. I must, in good conscience, leave it to the laboring classes."....

[ 5.0 stars ] "Janet Malcolm writes in the grand tradition of the old New Yorker writer, precisely and objectively about a difficult, heated subject. She sets out, quite courageously, to tell us why her fellow journalists are so easily corrupted or corruptible. Although they claim to be dispassionate reporters of the facts and only the facts, here she tells a rather horrifying story of a fellow journalist, Joe M ..." Courtesy by Amazon
