Amazin'!


I'm delighted that the October 15th issue of the New York Daily News featured my article on the 50th anniversary of the New York Mets winning the World Series.  I can assure you that the following is all true, because I was there.

When the Boy Scouts Met the Hippies at Woodstock


The Los Angeles Times published my 50th Anniversary reminiscence of the Woodstock Music Festival in their August 16th issue. I guarantee that it's not the usual Woodstock anniversary piece.  And it's perfect for my "bog," because there's lots of mud in it.

Elegy for "Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide"

Last Friday, The Wall Street Journal published my piece about the discontinuation of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide after a run of 45 years. The book has been a part of my life since its first edition, so I thought it would be fitting to reflect on how the guide, the movies, and America have changed during those years.
