The Good Life
“I will tell you flat out that I am a very lucky guy. I have had many moments of satisfaction as a reporter. I have helped to save people’s homes, put a vicious slumlord in prison, aided migrant workers to get the elementary benefit of just having potable drinking water in the fields. I hope I have educated people about civil liberties and a myriad of problems in the criminal justice system.”
—Henry Weinstein, award-winning reporter, Los Angeles Times, 2006
