# Jamie Graham

**Jamie Graham**, O.O.M. is a former chief for the Victoria Police Department. He previously served as the chief constable of Vancouver, British Columbia from August 22, 2002 to August 13, 2007. A former Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer, Graham's five-year contract with the Vancouver Police Department was not renewed. His time as chief there ended on August 22, 2007.

He is a supporter of numerous charities including the Law Enforcement Torch Run, Canadian Cancer Society, Cancer Foundation, Cops for Cancer, Canadian Blood Services, Owl Society, Covenant House and Salvation Army to name a few. He is also a member of the British Columbia Veterinary Medical Association’s Lay Inquiry Pool.

## Personal life

Graham was born in Belleville, Ontario. The son of a Canadian Army colonel, he lived in Halifax, New Delhi, and Quantico, Virginia. He attended King’s College, a boarding school in Nova Scotia.

He and his wife, lawyer Gail Graham, have been married 27 years and have no children.

## Policing career

Graham was a 34-year veteran of the RCMP when he was hired as Vancouver’s chief constable. He was chosen for the job over a field of competitors for that included Larry Campbell, who became Graham’s boss as Vancouver’s mayor, and eventually a Canadian senator. Graham was chief superintendent of the Surrey RCMP detachment from 2000 to 2002, and before that commanded the North Vancouver detachment from 1992 to 2000.

Graham was popular with his officers while chief of the Vancouver Police Department, and improved morale during his tenure. Former Vancouver mayor Philip Owen noted "He's a cop throughout, and that's what the members of the department like. They like a strong leader." Many officers describe him as the best chief in the history of the department.

In his role as chief constable, Graham was an active member of a number of policing and community organizations. He was a member of the by-law committee of the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), and sat on the executive committee of the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada and the board of governance of the Combined Forces Special Investigation Unit. He took on a leadership role in the "Tier 1 Strategy" against outlaw motorcycle gangs. A former president of the British Columbia Association of Chiefs of Police (BCACP), Graham chaired its gaming and mental health committees, and represented the BCACP on the board of the Integrated Illegal Gambling Enforcement Team. He was also a member of the Vancouver Board of Trade. Other organizations he has worked with include the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), the North Vancouver Restorative Justice Society, the Justice Institute of British Columbia, and the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Graham established public affairs and marketing sections in the department, the public relations branch for the police force.

## Awards

The Governor General, the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, appointed Graham a member of the Order of St. John on December 15, 2006. On January 6, 2010, Graham was appointed as an officer of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces (O.O.M.). A ceremony in Ottawa followed on May 26, 2010.

## Controversy and criticism

Graham and his department have been the subject of controversy during his term. The *Georgia Straight* newspaper has criticized Graham for being too entrenched in traditional police culture to effectively respond to problems of misconduct.

In January 2003, three men were beaten by police officers in Stanley Park. Graham recommended that six officers be charged in connection with the assault. He later fired two of them and imposed the maximum suspensions under the Police Act to the other four after they pleaded guilty to the charges.

Pivot Legal Society published *To Serve and Protect: A Report on Policing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside* in 2002, which documented approximately 60 affidavits from people regarding police misconduct. Pivot also filed a number of complaints against the VPD with the Police Complaint Commissioner (PCC), Dirk Ryneveld. After an internal investigation by the Vancouver Police and the RCMP, no criminal allegations were found or substantiated. Two officers received minimal discipline for what was determined to be minor policy violations. In 2005, Ryneveld issued a report stating, "What we do know is that RCMP ultimately reported the very regrettable circumstance of a lack of cooperation on the part of 'certain VPD members,' also incidents of non-responsiveness by the police chief himself." Mayor Sam Sullivan dismissed the non-cooperation complaint in May 2007, stating partly that there was no practical way to discipline a retiring police chief. Ryneveld overruled him, demanding that a further investigation take place. Graham strongly denied obstructing the RCMP in any way, referring people to his published report on the matter. The new investigation was conducted by Jim Cessford of the Delta Police Department. In his report, Cessford wrote that "Chief Graham did not fully exercise his authority in ensuring that his members cooperated \[with the RCMP\] as required." Although Graham did not actively obstruct the RCMP investigation, Cessford concluded that he did commit, "through his inaction, the Code of Conduct offence of Discreditable Conduct." The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner reviewed and accepted the report's finding of discreditable conduct, but did not see anything to warrant a public inquiry into the matter.

During the 2005 municipal elections, Graham had Sam Sullivan, then a candidate for mayor, investigated for his admission that he had given money to addicts to buy drugs and allowed one to smoke crack in his van. An editorial in the *Georgia Straight* attacked the investigation as a political move.

Graham and the Vancouver Police Department have expressed support for the principles behind Insite, Vancouver's controversial safe injection site, which has drawn criticism from conservative groups and the RCMP. Noting that "our organization's \[the VPD\] primary responsibilities are safety and public order", Graham has supported any project that falls within the laws of Canada.

In April 2006, RCMP investigators exonerated Graham from allegations of misappropriating funds related to a 2004 police conference. An employee had alleged that Graham and other police executives used complimentary hotels rooms during the convention.

In July 2006, Graham left a bullet-riddled shooting range target on the desk of city manager Judy Rogers. On the target, Graham wrote: "A bad day at the range is better than the best day at work." He later apologized to her for the incident.

In January 2012, the Honourable Jakob S. de Villiers rendered final judgement of misconduct against Graham for comments made to media surrounding protest events during the 2010 Olympics. This was Graham's second conviction under the police act

In February 2012, Graham admitted guilt for "neglect of duty" under the police act, for unsafe storage of a loaded handgun under the seat of his car and received a reprimand for his misconduct.

# Richmond Cricket Club (London)

**Richmond Cricket Club** is based in Richmond with its home venue in the Old Deer Park. The club was founded in 1862 and now plays in the Middlesex County Cricket League as one of London's largest and most successful amateur clubs.

## League cricket

Although Richmond was historically part of Surrey, the club is a member of the Middlesex County Cricket League. When league cricket for clubs around London came into existence, most of Richmond's regular opponents were from North / West London and they therefore joined them in the creation of the Middlesex League, rather than play teams from South London in the Surrey Championship.

The Old Deer Park has hosted a number of Middlesex games.

As of the 2023 season, Richmond compete in the Middlesex Premier League, which it won twice (in 2004 and 2018). It was also champions twice (1989 and 1998) in the years before the creation of the Premier League.

## Past players

The Australia international Adam Gilchrist spent a season playing for Richmond in 1989, before he had made his first-class debut. In 2004 a scholarship was set up in his name to allow other young Australian players the chance to have the same experience.

abstract: William Gilbert van Tassel Sutphen (1861–1945) was an American playwright, librettist, novelist, and editor, an authority and author of publications on golf, and, eventually, an Episcopalian minister. Sutphen was born in Philadelphia on 11 May 1861. His parents were the Rev. Morris Crater Sutphen and Eleanor (Brush) Sutphen. He went to Princeton University and graduated in 1882. Sutphen wrote several novels, the most famous of which was The Doomsman, a science fiction novel in the post-apocalyptic subgenre. The scholar Mike Davis has suggested that Sutphen "purloined" ideas and scenes for this book from an earlier post-apocalyptic novel, After London, by the English writer Richard Jeffries. Sutphen was the first editor of Golf magazine, published by Harper Brothers. He also coined the term "the 19th hole". He gave the library at Princeton a collection of 75 books about golf. Sutphen worked for many years as a reader and editor, for the publishers Harper Brothers, working on novels by Theodore Dreiser among others. At some point he became a brother-in-law of Joseph Harper. As a leading figure at Harpers, Sutphen attended Mark Twain's 70th birthday celebrations in New York.

abstract: Henry Augustus Mears was an English businessman, most notable for founding Chelsea Football Club. He was born in 1873, the son of Joseph and Charlotte Mears. In 1896, Mears and his brother Joseph purchased the Stamford Bridge Athletics Ground and later the nearby market garden with the intention of turning it into the country's finest football ground and staging high-profile matches there. He failed to persuade Fulham FC chairman Henry Norris to re-locate his club to the ground, and considered selling the land to the Great Western Railway Company, who wished to use it as a coal yard.

title: Amarna letter EA 26

abstract: Amarna letter EA 26, titled To the Queen Mother: Some Missing Gold Statues, is a shorter-length clay tablet Amarna letter from Tushratta of Mittani. Unlike the next letter EA 27 from Tushratta, which is more than twice as tall, and about twice as wide-(XXVII paragraphs), EA 26 is topical and synoptic about recent events about the desire for 'gold statues'. The letter is addressed to the Pharaoh's wife, Teye, and its dimensions are approximately: 6.0 inches (15 cm) tall, 3.5 inches (9 cm) wide, and 1.0 inch (3 cm) thick. EA 26 has missing edges, left and right. The piece pictured is the Oriental Institute of Chicago's piece, acquired by Rev. Chauncey Murch at Luxor which is part of the obverse, lower-left corner, at the beginning of lines of text. The entire obverse of EA 26 can be seen here, with its missing edges and scuffed/eroded surfaces on the edges. The Oriental Institute piece shows the high quality of inscribed cuneiform, as visible in undamaged sections of EA 26.

### EA 26: *To the Queen Mother: Some Missing Gold Statues*

EA 26, letter ten of thirteen from Tushratta. (Not a linear, line-by-line translation.)

*Obverse* (see here: ) (Lines 1-6)--\[Say\] t\[o Teye \], the mistrisss of Egy\[pt\]: T\[hus Tuš\]ratta, the king of \[ Mittani. For me\] all goes well. For you may all go w\[ell. For *your household,* for\] your sons, may all go well. For Tadu-Heba, \[my daughter\], your daughter-in-law, may all go well. For your countries, fo\[r your *troops,*\] and for whatever else belongs to you, may all go very, very \[well\]. (7-18)--You are the one that knows that I \[myself\] always showed love \[to\] Mimmureya, your husband, and that Mimmureya, \[your\] husba\[nd\], on the other hand, always showed love to me. A\[nd *the things*\] that I wou\[ld write and\] say \[t\]o Mimmureya, your husband, and the things that Mimmureya, your husband, \[would alwa\]ys write and say to me, you, \[Keli\]ya, and Mane know. But you are the on\[e, *on the other ha\]nd,* who knows much better than all others the things \[that\] we said \[to one an\]other. No one \[el\]se knows them (as well). (19-29)--\[And n\]ow, you yourself \[sai\]d to Keliya, *"Say to your lord: 'Mi\[m\]mureya,*1 *my husband, always showed love to yo\[ur\] father, and maintained (it) for you;*2 *he did not forge\[t\]*3 *his love for your father, and he did not cut o\[ff\]*4 *the \[em\]bassies that he had been accustomed to sending, one after the other.

You must keep on send\[ing\] embassies of joy,*6 *one after the other. Do not cut \[them\] off.' "* (30-39)--I will \[not\] fo\[rget\]8 the love for Mimmureya, your husband. More than ever be\[fo\]re,9 at this very moment, I show 10 times  much, much  more love to Naphurreya, your son. *\[Your are the one who knows\]* the words of Mimmureya, \[your\] husb\[and, *but\]* you did not *s\[end\]*10 all of my greeting-gift11 that *\[your husband ordered\]* to *\[be sent\].* I had asked12 \[your husband\] for \[statues\] of sol\[id\] cast \[gold\], saying, *"\[May my brother send me\] a\[s my greeting gift,*13 *statues of solid cast gold and ... ... of gold\]* and genuine lapis lazuli." *Reverse* (see here: ) (lines 40-48)But now Nap\[hurreya, your son\], has plated \[statues\] of wood. With gold being the dirt \[in your son's country, w\]hy have they been a source of such dis\[tress\] to your son that he has not given them to me?14 Furthermore, I asked ... \[... t\]o give *th\[is\].*15 Is this love? I had sa\[id\], *"Naphurre\[ya,* *my brother\],* *is going to treat me 10 times better that his father did."* But now he has not \[given me\] even what his father was accustomed to give.

If \[you\] do not expose them before him, and *y\[ou keep silent\],*16 *can anyone \[el\]se know?* Let \[Nap\]hurreya give me statues of sol\[id\] gold!

title: Mount Queets

abstract: Mount Queets is a 6,476-foot (1,974-metre) mountain summit located deep within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state, United States. With a good eye and clear weather, the top of the mountain can be seen from the visitor center at Hurricane Ridge. The nearest higher peak is Mount Meany (6,695 ft), 0.8 mi (1.3 km) to the south. Due to heavy winter snowfalls, Mount Queets supports the Queets Glacier in a cirque on its north slope, despite its modest elevation. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the headwaters of both the Elwha River and Queets River. There are scrambling routes ranging from class YDS 2 via the North Ridge, class 3 via the ridge from Mt. Meany, and class 4 via the Queets Glacier.

# Mount Queets

**Mount Queets** is a 6,476-foot (1,974-metre) mountain summit located deep within Olympic National Park in Jefferson County of Washington state, United States. With a good eye and clear weather, the top of the mountain can be seen from the visitor center at Hurricane Ridge. The nearest higher peak is Mount Meany (6,695 ft), 0.8 mi (1.3 km) to the south. Due to heavy winter snowfalls, Mount Queets supports the Queets Glacier in a cirque on its north slope, despite its modest elevation. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the headwaters of both the Elwha River and Queets River. There are scrambling routes ranging from class YDS 2 via the North Ridge, class 3 via the ridge from Mt. Meany, and class 4 via the Queets Glacier.

## History

The present-day Mt. Meany - Mt. Queets area was referred to as Mt. Mesachie on the 1896 Gilman National Geographic Map. The word *mesachie* is from Chinook Jargon and means *wicked*.

The mountain was dubbed "Mt. Hearst" during the 1889-90 Seattle Press Expedition to honor William Randolph Hearst, owner of the San Francisco Examiner, but Mount Queets is the officially accepted name today. The name "Queets" first appeared on the Surveyor General's map of Washington Territory referring to the Queets River, then was later applied to the glacier on the mountain which is the primary source of the river. The word "Queets" is a derivation of the name of the *Quai'tso* (Queets) tribe.

The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1890 by Harry Fisher (aka James B. Hanmore) and Nelson Linsley during the second O’Neil Expedition.

## Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Queets is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow. As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in avalanche danger. During winter months weather is usually cloudy, but due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.

title: Thunder Ridge Wilderness

abstract: The Thunder Ridge Wilderness is a 2,344 acres (949 ha) area located near Natural Bridge, Virginia, which is protected by the Eastern Wilderness Act of Congress to maintain its present, natural condition. As part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, it helps to preserve a variety of natural life forms and contributes to a diversity of plant and animal gene pools. Over half of the ecosystems in the United States exist within designated wilderness. Dominated by Thunder Ridge with steep slopes towering above Arnold Valley, the interior is incredibly rugged, remote and rarely visited. The top of the ridge contains flowers blooming late into summer, long past blooms in the hot valley below. Trillium, may apple, pink lady slipper, Indian cucumber root and columbine flourish in the shade of black cherry trees, northern red oak and hickories. The area is part of the Glenwood Cluster.

# Thunder Ridge Wilderness

The **Thunder Ridge Wilderness** is a 2,344 acres (949 ha) area located near Natural Bridge, Virginia, which is protected by the Eastern Wilderness Act of Congress to maintain its present, natural condition. As part of the National Wilderness Preservation System, it helps to preserve a variety of natural life forms and contributes to a diversity of plant and animal gene pools. Over half of the ecosystems in the United States exist within designated wilderness.

Dominated by Thunder Ridge with steep slopes towering above Arnold Valley, the interior is incredibly rugged, remote and rarely visited. The top of the ridge contains flowers blooming late into summer, long past blooms in the hot valley below. Trillium, may apple, pink lady slipper, Indian cucumber root and columbine flourish in the shade of black cherry trees, northern red oak and hickories.

The area is part of the *Glenwood Cluster*.

## Location and access

Thunder Ridge Wilderness is located in the Jefferson National Forest several miles from Natural Bridge Station, Virginia. It is just south of the James River Face Wilderness, bounded on the northeast by Forest Service Road 35, on the south by the Blue Ridge Parkway and on the northwest by a line approximately parallel to the parkway and offset by about a mile.

There are three trails into the wilderness:

* The Appalachian Trail travels in and out of the wilderness as it crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway giving several trailheads for access to the wilderness.
* Hunting Creek Trail enters the wilderness before meeting the Appalachian Trail. Trailhead on FS 45 at Hunting Creek
* Glenwood Horse Trail, 2.1 mile, 1000 foot elevation change, trailhead on FS 35

There are several overlooks of the wilderness from parking areas along the Blue Ridge Parkway:

* A view over the wilderness can be reached from the Thunder Ridge Parking area, Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 74.7. A short trail from the parking lot leads to an overlook with views to the west over Arnold Valley.
* The Apple Orchard Mountain Overlook at milepost 76.5 is the highest parkway elevation in Virginia with views of the wilderness and the valley below

## Natural history

With very different environments, the area sustains a great variety of trees found in a diversity of habitats. Coves support tulip poplar, oak and hemlock, some very large; the crest of Apple Orchard Mountain has a mix of hardwoods such as red and white oak as well as common persimmon, red spruce and hemlock; and the harsh environment of the dry western slopes support pitch pine, Virginia pine and chestnut oak.

The moist forests provide good habitat for salamanders. The world’s greatest diversity of salamanders is found in the southeastern United States. More than 55 species are located in Virginia, with over 15 in the Thunder Ridge wilderness or adjacent public and private lands.

## Topography

The area is dominated by Thunder Ridge with steep slopes on the northern side, and elevations ranging from 1320 feet in the lowlands of the northwest to 4200 feet on Apple Orchard Mountain.

The peaks are part of the Pedlar Formation, composed of igneous granite and metamorphic gneiss with a mineral content which weathers to give a soil supporting a lush growth of plants. The area has the tallest trees and the finest groups of laurel and rhododendron in the region.

## Cultural history

Just south of the wilderness area on Apple Orchard Mountain, Apple Orchard Camp offered overnight accommodations in the early 1900s. In 1924 the camp became Camp Kewanzee, a summer camp for boys and girls. During the Cold War a nearby area was developed as a radar-based tracking station, and in the 1960s a large computer complex was built to process data for transmission to Fort Lee, Virginia. The military base was closed in 1975 leaving a single radar dome and other facilities. The dome, a prominent feature on the tallest mountain along the parkway in Virginia, can be seen from a long distance.

In 1928 during a violent storm, a balloon, participating in an international balloon race, crashed in the night onto Thunder Hill. Major injuries were sustained, especially during the climb down the mountain.

## Plot

In 1957, W.W. Bright is an easygoing crook who robs only SOS ("Southland Oil System") gas stations. He meets the Dixie Dancekings, a country music band, while fleeing from a policeman. Dixie, their singer, gives him an alibi. He claims to be in the music business, and ends up promoting the group. Wayne, the band's leader, does not trust him, but the others all have faith in him.

The SOS chairman sends for Bible-thumping ex-lawman Deacon John Wesley Gore to catch W.W. Meanwhile, W.W. and the newly outfitted band go to see Country Bull Jenkins, a highly successful singer-songwriter. He is willing to write them a song for $1,000.

W.W. talks the Dancekings into a bank robbery (SOS has just expanded into the banking business) that does not work out quite as planned. When Gore broadcasts the description of the getaway car on a radio revival show, W.W. burns up his rare, distinctive car.

He is ready to separate from the Dancekings in order to shield them, but then he hears them rehearsing Wayne's new song. He persuades Country Bull to listen to it; the man is so impressed, he puts them on the *Grand Ole Opry* radio show. There, Gore catches W.W., using an exact replica of his burnt car as bait. Gore makes him drive to the police station, but just as they arrive, Gore realizes it is now Sunday, so rather than violate the Sabbath, he lets him go (with the car).

## Cast

## Production

### Development

Burt Reynolds was originally going to make the film with Dick Richards in late 1972. However, he dropped it to do *The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing*.

In January 1974, Reynolds signed to do the movie, and filming started in February 1974 in Nashville. Reynolds approved John Avildsen on the basis of a recommendation from Jack Lemmon, who had worked with the director on *Save the Tiger*.

John Avildsen says Sylvester Stallone auditioned for a supporting role. He did not get the job, but starred in *Rocky*, the director's next film.

Reynolds wanted Lynn Anderson to play the female lead, but she declined. The role was then offered to Dolly Parton, who also declined; however, the two would later work together on *The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas*.

Filming was marked by tension between Reynolds and Avildsen. The two men did not get along professionally or personally, and there were often clashes in approach and temperament.

### "Golden Anniversary" Oldsmobile

One of the central props in the movie is the car that W.W. drives. In the film, it is described as a special 1955 "Golden Anniversary" Oldsmobile Rocket 88, of which only 50 were purportedly made. It is a four-door sedan painted gold with black hood and side accents and chrome trim. In reality, there was no such special model, and in any event, 1955 was not the 50th anniversary of Oldsmobile.

Three such cars were custom-built for the film from stock 1955 Oldsmobiles. One was destroyed in the fire scene, one was taken to a museum, and the third was used as the camera car, with the roof removed. Radio Shack in California had a promotional giveaway for the third car shortly after the movie was released. The Radio Shack connection is that Burt Reynolds and the *Bandit* movies created a demand for CB radios, which amounted to 30% of Radio Shack's sales during the height of the craze.

## Reception

### Critical reception

Vincent Canby of *The New York Times* enjoyed the film:

> \[Y\]ou may find John G. Avildsen's *W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings* an unexpectedly pleasant surprise ... One of the charms of the movie is the casual way it seems to discover its story while it wanders from one minor crisis to the next ... The film's supporting roles are very well cast.

Roger Ebert of the *Chicago Sun-Times* gave the film two stars out of four.

> \[D\]irector John G. Avildsen seems to be going for some kind of mythic meaning larger than the movie can hold. If only the movie had stayed closer to street level, had engaged itself with the lives of W.W. and the band, it might have been more successful.

### Box office

The film earned North American rentals of $8 million. It was one of the studio's biggest films of the year.

When the film aired on U.S. TV in January 1977, it was the second highest rated show of the week.

### Burt Reynolds

Reynolds said the film "turned out wrong but it made a lot of money. It was supposed to be a special, warm and lovely little film. It was important that we not make fun of the people in Nashville as opposed to *Nashville*. It wasn't that kind of movie. It was a bouquet to Nashville. But I got into a lot of fights with the director."

Nonetheless, Reynolds liked Jerry Reed's performance so much he later cast Reed in his first film as director, *Gator* (1976).

## Legacy

Quentin Tarantino credited the novelization of the film as getting him interested in writing. He bought the novelization and would read it every few years. Tarantino said in 2003:

> I found out later that Thomas Rickman was so disgusted with what they did with his movie that he asked to write the novelization, so that one person out there would know what it was that he intended. I'm 40 now, and I still read *W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings* every three years. I'm that one person. When I saw the movie, though, a few years after I'd first read the book, I was like, What the hell is this? I mean, I was offended. I was literally offended. The novelization was pure. But this was Hollywood garbage. So that's why I started writing screenplays, because I was so outraged.

# James Simon Kunen

**James Simon Kunen** (born 1948) is an American author, journalist and lawyer. He is best known as the author of *The Strawberry Statement*, a first-person documentary of the Columbia University protests of 1968.

## Biography

James Simon Kunen is an alumnus of Fay School and Phillips Academy. He attended Columbia University during the 1968 student protests and participated in the student sit-in at the institution's Hamilton Hall, resulting in his arrest for trespassing. This experience led him to write *The Strawberry Statement*, documenting the university's controversial involvement with the government's Institute for Defense Analyses.

After graduating from Columbia in 1970, he became a field journalist from Vietnam for *True*. This experience led to *Standard Operating Procedure*, his second published work.

Afterward, he graduated from the New York University School of Law and moved to Washington, D.C., where he became a public defender. His experiences in criminal courts led to his writing *How Can You Defend Those People?*, published by Random House in 1983.

After leaving the Public Defender Service in Washington, Kunen worked as an editorial page editor at *Newsday* on Long Island before joining *People* as a writer and editor. His coverage for *People* of the worst drunk driving crash in the U.S. spurred him to write *Reckless Disregard: Corporate Greed, Government Indifference and the Kentucky School Bus Crash*, his fourth book.

Kunen has also written articles for *The New Yorker*, *Newsday*, and *New York Times Magazine*, and other notable publications.

After losing employment with Time Warner as a director of communications, having worked with the company for two decades, he wrote a book called *Diary of a Company Man: Losing a Job: Finding Life,* published in January 2012.

## Personal life

Kunen is married to Lisa Karlin, who is a radio journalist and social worker. They reside in Brooklyn, New York and have two children.
