Perfect Storm is a fine, but humanly imperfect, piece of book
journalism. Everything in it is attributed.

As a journalist, I would be proud to have written it.

Are you a journalist Rodney? I didn't know that. Well, as a one-time journalist
myself, I too am envious that somebody else wrote the book, but it was sloppy
journalism nonetheless. Which, by the way, I can understand. There are some
people vital to a story that you just don't want to talk to or can't talk to
either because they will upset a thesis or they are just nasty and
intimidating people one would rather not go near. But the worst thing for any
journalist is to have someone who prominently figures in a story pop up after
the fact and say "He never even tried to talk to me."
