About Me

I grew up in cowboy country —West Texas. My most memorable mentors were a philosophy prof, Truitt Hilliard, who introduced me to existentialism, logical positivism and Haiku; well-known artist, Paul Milosevich, who reconciled art with Zen; and Neil Whiting, a talented theatrical director. Also -Mamie Carpenter, whose descriptions of Sandro Botticelli's "Primavera" stayed with me until I could confirm them for myself in Florence. Lee Holloway, ahead of her time, awakened my love of debate. Legendary criminal defense Atty Warren Burnett lectured me personally about the First Amendment. I also studied communications with Wally Jackson, a Northwestern University alumnus. My broadcasting career (radio/TV) took me to several major markets covering news for ABC, CBS and UPI. I covered and interviewed Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, George Bush Sr., Nelson Rockefeller, Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, David S. Broder, Sen. Fritz Hollings, Sen. John Tower, Beverly Sills, Gloria Steinem, Sen. Sam Ervin, Bella Abzug, George Plimpton, Milton Friedman, Ehud OImert, John Wayne, Mel Brooks, and many "movie stars", politicians, and celebs.
