About Me
I'm a Washington, DC-based writer, interested in politics, history, and outdoor adventure. I'm a Correspondent at Outside magazine, a former Senior Editor and Diplomatic Correspondent for US News & World Report, and author of "The Race" (Houghton Mifflin, 2002).
"Parallel Universe" will explore the people and ideas that could change everything--if only our failing politics, consumerist culture, and love of unfettered capitalism will allow it. Which they probably won't. Still, it's fun to pretend it will all be okay.
