| Introduction | I am known as "The Father of the Alternative Press." During the time I was publishing "The Californian" and later when I was the featured writer for "The San Francisco Bay Guardian," I was often referred to as "the foremost investigative journalist on the West Coast." Now 76, I continue to write articles and books and to take on interviews when requested. I am the author of hundreds of articles published in periodicals in many parts of the world and of books such as "The Hippies" (New American Library), "Hitler and the Nazis" (Putnam), "Pileup on Death Row" (Doubleday), "Lucifer's Dictionary of the American Language" (Wild West Publishing House), and "The Case Against Jesus" (World Audience Publishers).

For more information, see my profile on the Authors Den web site or consult any standard biographical reference work such as "Who's Who in America" and "Outstanding Intellectuals of the 20th Century." |
