Harvey Weinstein

Perversion of Justice

An investigative piece that exposes Jeffrey Epstein’s years-long exploitation of underage girls at his Palm Beach mansion, the sprawling cover-ups surrounding the case, and the controversial 2007 plea deal brokered by then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta that allowed Epstein to plead guilty to two state prostitution charges and receive immunity from federal sex-trafficking charges, enabling him to serve just 13 months in a private wing while alleged co-conspirators were left unprosecuted; the article also details how Epstein’s lawyers and private investigators sought to discredit victims and undermine the police investigation, illustrating how wealth and power can distort justice long before the #MeToo era.

When the Muzzle Comes Off

Rebecca Traister argues that the #MeToo era is reshaping politics by forcing the nation to listen to women’s experiences of sexual assault and harassment—from Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez to Amber Wyatt—revealing how power silences female voices, linking personal harm to broader systems of domination, and expanding what is acceptable to discuss, so that the act of telling and hearing these stories becomes a potent political force even when legal or political outcomes remain uncertain.

Microsoft Word - Epstein combined articles.doc

This is a focused collection of Palm Beach Post editorials and related reporting that scrutinizes how wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, accused of paying underage girls for massages that turned sexual, was charged only with a single solicitation count under a grand jury, raising charges of a two-tier system of justice, the credibility of the victims, and the prosecutors’ handling, while praising or faulting police leadership and prosecutors, and tracing the case from 2006 indictments through a 2008 plea that yielded a relatively light sentence and fed ongoing questions about accountability for the rich.

Siege: Trump Under Fire

Siege provides a real-time, inside-the-White-House portrait of Donald Trump in early 2018 as the Mueller Russia investigation tightens and a chaotic presidency buckles under legal peril and relentless infighting. It tracks a cast of Trump aides—Dowd, Cobb, and Sekulow on the legal side; Hicks, Porter, Kushner, and Bannon in the personal and political sphere—whose loyalty, ambitions, and improvisations collide with the president’s demand for “solutions” and disdain for constraint. Wolff also exposes the widening rift between the White House and the Justice Department, as high-stakes investigations, subpoenas, and the threat of firing officials threaten to pull the administration apart. Against this backdrop, the budget battles and the symbolic fight over the Wall reveal how loyalty, power, and perception—more than policy—will determine Trump’s fate.

Oscars 2011: A Personal Chronicle of the Oscar Season and Parties

This insider diary chronicles the 2011 Oscar season from Cannes to the ceremony, tracing how nine films—led by The Artist, The Help, and The Descendants—built campaigns, buzz, and cross-country premieres while a glamorous whirl of parties, press rooms, and red carpets shaped the race for Best Picture, Director, Actor, and Actress. It threads through the social machinery of Hollywood, spotlighting the rivalries and alliances among stars, producers, and power brokers at exclusive gatherings, where fashion, sentiment, and whispered predictions mattered as much as films themselves; it features Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris, Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life, and the larger-than-life push around Meryl Streep vs. Viola Davis, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and a canine superstar, Uggie, who became a cultural moment. The narrative crescendos with The Artist’s historic sweep—the first silent Best Picture winner since 1927—with Harvey Weinstein’s orchestration, Michel Hazanavicius’s triumph, and Uggie’s star turn, before closing on the glow and the reminder that the magic of Oscar night is unforgettable, even as life returns to reality.
