Last Sunday in the Berkshires

The view from the back of the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Cloudy skies, a lazy day, and 322 Saturday Evening Post covers from the 1920s to the 1960s were enough to make one wish just a little bit that America had really been the bucolic, innocent place that Rockwell portrayed in most of his works. But he was a political liberal, and some of his depictions of school desegregation in the 1960s hit the mark in a simple, humanitarian way.

I have been a working journalist for more than 40 years, beginning in Los Angeles as an investigative reporter and then in Paris as a travel, food, and science writer. For more than 20 years I have covered anthropology and archaeology writer for Science, Audubon, Scientific American, SAPIENS, and other publications. I have also covered sexual misconduct for The Verge, Scientific American, and others; I write about mental health, especially schizophrenia; and I engage in occasional media criticism. I returned to the USA in October 2017 after 30 years in Paris, and now live in the New York City area, where I currently teach journalism at City College of New York (I previously taught journalism at Boston University and New York University.)
