In search of creativity and madness. Saturday, August 8, 2015. THE MAGIC PEN 2: THE GETAWAY. In 1927, having just turned 60, Steffens became weary of travel and desired to put his life as a muckraker into context. For this, he sought an ideal location to write his memoirs: Carmel, California—not far from San Francisco, his birthplace. In the early 1900s, Carmel-by-the-Sea welcomed artists, eccentrics, and bohemians (albeit the wealthy variety) and became known as Bohemia. I had given little thought to St...

I send myself off because I l-lose hope writing again, and here I am, yearning to write story. I only write what I l-lived, and I no l-longer l-living.”. 8220;But you’re talking. To me You can tell me.

In search of creativity and madness. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. OPEN LETTER TO CLINT EASTWOOD. You are among the finest filmmakers of my time, along with Spielberg and Scorsese. It was with some sadness that I endured this year’s Academy Awards. I don’t usually watch. Sorry, but there’s something about ridiculously high-paid entertainers mutually rewarding themselves with one awards ceremony after the other all winter long that leaves me cold. And I think they were all glad not to be present. I’m ...

In search of creativity and madness. Friday, August 7, 2015. THE MAGIC PEN 1: MUCKRAKER. When I became an investigative reporter almost forty years ago, my journalistic hero was Lincoln Steffens, the granddaddy of American investigative reporting from the turn of the nineteenth century. Steffens was the man to whom President Theodore Roosevelt was referring when he conceived the word muckraker. Thereafter, along with his handpicked team of reporters, Steffens wore TR’s moniker as a badge of courage.
