 * Strong Keep Apparently his leaving the New York Press stirred up some controversy, relating to the Muhammad Cartoons. There is detailed coverage:, , , ,  including in Salon and NY Times.  But he also seems to have been well-known, and high-profile, long before this event happened.

 * Keep Salon and the New York Times both have articles about him, plus others.  D r e a m Focus  21:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
