The list below summarizes the subject matter I researched and presented with the host, Barry Gordon, on the cablecasts and simultaneous webcasts of his cable TV talk show, NewsRap.

In addition, the links below lead to original materials related to these shows, including my contemporaneous blog postings: In particular, Do the Math got me noticed by progressive activists nationwide; Hard Lessons, brought to the attention of DNC members and others, presaged the rise of a charismatic leader of the Democratic party; and an excerpt from Poison Pill, posted in Comments From Left Field, was quoted by BBC News online.
