Here you will find a collection of my favorite pieces. Some are here because I thought them well-reported, some because they were well-written, some because I thought they were funny. It is not a "best of” list exactly (although quality is a criterion), and a list with so many pieces on it cannot be said to be select. They're just pieces on topics that I found interesting or important and that I thought worked in terms of my ambitions for them.  Just about all of them appear under other topics elsewhere in this archives.

​

There are more explainers than I expected, and fewer polemics, on all sorts of topics. Not much in common, in short, although I did notice that just about every piece I did that involved actual reporting made the list. I should have gotten out and mingled much more than I did; when I bothered to get up from my desk, the results were usually good. Young reporters might take note.
