I've started to notice-if television is any kind of litmus test-that two seasons are kicking off here in America at right about the same time. On their face, they couldn't be more different: the nearly year-long home stretch to the 2012 elections is all about the gritty realities of clashing...

About fifteen years ago, I paid a small fortune for an indoor parking spot at a private attended garage in downtown San Francisco. My car was broken into while I was shopping; the window was smashed and the CD player was taken. When I spoke to the attendant about their...

I am no stranger to U.S. government's propensity to conspire against perceived enemies of the state. Having worked this entire year on a book with Martin Luther King, Jr.'s personal lawyer and trusted confidant Clarence B.

As nearly anyone with an even passing interest in Fox News knows, Glenn Beck is convening a "Restoration of Honor" Rally at the Lincoln Memorial this Saturday, Aug. 28, in Washington, D.C., in front of the Lincoln Memorial. His rally is schedule to occur at the same place, 47 years...

I'm currently writing a book with a man who was illegally wiretapped by the FBI for more than seven years. Now reading that statement, you may be thinking this co-author of mine seems paranoid or perhaps delusional. But the records exist: I've seen the transcripts of hundreds of telephone conversations,...
