The Day the Earth Caved In: An American Mining Tragedy
The book investigates an underground mine fire that has raged out of control since John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, spewing toxic gases and causing the relocation of an entire mining community. Drawing on interviews with key participants and new research, the book exposes the failures of major political and government figures, and investigates individual rights, corporate privilege and governmental indifference to the powerless.

Senseless Suffering?
This investigation was one of the first to expose the dangers of the non-prescription nasal sprays ZICAM and COLD-EEZE. The story began when one consumer complained that she lost her sense of smell from using the product, which contained zinc gluconate. After extensive research using the Internet and contacting taste and smell experts, the investigation took a turn as the companies responsible for the medication began to deny their product had anything to do with loss of smell. Doctors finally admitted to faulty research and COLD-EEZE was pulled from the shelves, while makers of ZICAM are taking another look at the effects of their product.
