professionally in the military and received fine art training at
the National Academy in New York. Between 1967 and 1974, he worked
for Life, Esquire, Rolling Stone, The Sunday Times, and many other
publications, somehow finding himself at the center of some of the
biggest stories of the time.

Betsy and Chris discussed what went on in Newark, New Jersey when
the National Guard was called in to patrol the streets, and how
there is now a difference in accountability concerning police
actions. There were 26 people killed during the five-day riots and
Chris discussed what started the riots and gave some historical
background about what happened during those five days.
