Looking For Trouble, and boy does she find it. Nicaragua, the Middle East, Libya, Haiti, Columbia, and more, all when they were hot spots. She had a baby without help of drugs, went back to work in three day, then three weeks later flew to an island in the Pacific declared off limits to humans for 24,000 years because of atomic testing. Oh, and also went scuba diving to observe possible radiation effect on sharks. It was depressing/infuriating to read about the corruption of governments including our own, the devastation to human life through human arrogance, bad policy, war... I know journalism is a way to bring injustice to light and ignite social change, and I'm glad there are people like Cockburn to do it, but I can't relate to her at all, nor do I think I like her. It was interesting to get a small glimpse into her world.
