Under the name Tony Dolan he had been, for a time, a conservative folk-singer who put out the album "Cry, The Beloved Country" and appeared on The Merv Griffin Show.[2][3]
He won the 1978 Pulitzer Prize for Local Investigative Specialized Reporting[1] for a series of articles on municipal corruption published in The Stamford Advocate. During the presidency of President George W.
