Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

An early version of this manual [DSM III] was a good resource tool when I was researching and writing The Kids Next Door: Sons and Daughters Who Killed Their Parents and Unspeakable Acts: The Ordeal of Thomas Waters-Rimmer which was selected for the New York Times 1993 Notable Books of the Year.

The Hunts Point Express on Editorial Alert?

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

An URL of the previous blog below (The Slippery Ethical Slope of the Hunts Point Express) was posted Monday on the The Hunts Point Express facebook page. Lo and behold, it was no longer there yesterday. In fact, the The Hunts Point Express on online is not accepting comments either.

The Slippery Ethical Slope for the Hunts Point Express?

Sunday, May 5th, 2013

An Open Letter to America about the Central Park Five

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

This was published several months ago in Indiewire by Josh Raiske but I just came across it and thought it needs to see more light of day.

I saw The Central Park Five at the closing night of DOC NYC last night, and at the end, when the five men who’d been wrongfully convicted came up onto the stage, together in one place for the first time since that night in Central Park on April 19, 1989, I was choking back tears, and maybe all my perspective (too much fucking perspective) has gone out the window, but I think this is one of the most important films I’ve ever seen.

NYCLU Makes the Subways Safe for Photographers

Monday, April 1st, 2013

March 22, 2013 – A federal judge has ruled that a New York City Transit Authority rule requiring people using the city’s transit system to carry ID is unconstitutional. The decision is a victory for the New York Civil Liberties Union, which filed a lawsuit in November, 2011 defending the public’s right to take photographs in the subway system without fear of being arrested or having to show identification to police.
