I have been extremely fortunate to have worked as a reporter, and well rewarded.

My writing career has allowed me to witness many memorable moments in history and share time and conversation with individuals who charged society through their ideology and their actions.

Whether writing about Moscow in the early years of glasnost, the Vatican Synod, Christopher Columbus' descendant, Italian prostitution, a terrorist attack at Fiumicino airport or about a Holocaust survivor, my pen and curiosity never tired.

Since 1983, I have written hundreds of articles, and wisely kept most of them, even those yellowed beyond readability. I share some of them with you.
