Stories

My pathbreaking reporting, investigations, and commentary have examined social ills and our political landscape from so many angles: academic, investigative, analytic, sociological, historical, constitutional, legal, and human. 

My investigative and analytic journalism has led to a new U.S. statute and has been cited in scores of academic and law review articles, quoted on legislative floors, submitted in court cases, distributed as course assignments, and used to train government officials and NGO workers.

My columns, commentary, and feature writing deliver witty, irreverent, informed insight on political and social justice issues, especially gender, sexuality, and family—but ranging widely, from the death penalty to terrorism, from beach towns to blizzards.
