LTH contributor -- and Reader columnist extraordinaire -- Mike Sula has posted a great piece at the Reader's web site in which he chats with Caro and provides a glimpse of the book, which he describes as "smart, fascinating, and hilarious."

Mike Sula in his Omnivorous column at the Chicago Reader wrote:Trotter’s threat to Tramonto’s organ was one those magical moments in a reporter’s career when he suddenly realizes a relatively prosaic story just blew up big. After waiting a week for the Terry Schiavo story to fade, so readers wouldn’t be offended by the juxtaposition of force-fed ducks with a comatose woman on a feeding tube, his bosses put the controversy on the front page and all hell broke loose.
