Yesterday, I published a story in Newsweek about Bill O'Reilly’s amazing ability to be in two places at the same time.  Today he replied,albeit indirectly, by having his publisher furnished  a truly wild tale, In it,  O'Reilly and a freelance cameraman barged into my hotel room to  shoe-horn themselves into my exclusive  interview with George  De Mohrenschildt in Palm Beach.. Supposedly, this barge-in happened on the morning of March 29, 1977  and the intruders somehow made a movie of George De Mohrenschildt on the sofa. Читать дальше...

 [PREFACE TO MY NEW BOOK]  

     The problem of journalism in American proceeds from a simple but inescapable bind: journalists and editors are rarely, if ever, in a position to establish the truth about a story for themselves, and therefore almost entirely dependent on “sources,” who may be self-interested, falsifiers or even fictional characters.

The Money Changers

By Charles Raw (1992)

The Vatican bank later discovered a hole in its accounts that swallowed up a large part of the Vatican's available funds. As the investigation into Calvi's death deepened, it opened a Pandora's box of machinations involving the Banco Ambrosiano... Читать дальше...

Amanda Knox, even while appearing on television in America to promote her book “Waiting To Be Heard,” is facing yet another murder trial in Italy for a crime --- of which, in 2011, after spending 4 years in prison, she was found innocent by an Italian appeals court. In throwing out the murder case against her, that court declared that the prosecution’s charges were “not corroborated by any objective element of evidence.” The revival of the baseless charges against Knox, and the tabloid frenzy it will no doubt stoke...

The raid uncovered a secret dossier... Читать дальше...
