Representing thirty years of work, the range of topics alternative cancer cures, Yale's Skull & Bones secret society, Elvis Presley are an apt representation of his unquenchable curiosity. Says the New York Times Book Review: "A masterly concoction, a blend of boy reporter, Ancient Mariner, and lounge lizard."
