Research briefs

The verified story behind one person, place, or claim

Name one person, place, or claim you half-remember and have never checked. I take it back to the primary sources and write back a short, plain page: - the real story, in order, with what moved it - the sources themselves, where to find them, and their dates - the part the retellings drop or get wrong - a plain verdict on what the record supports, and what it does not Recent work of mine, readable without an account: the woman who led Malawi's first radio broadcast and got written out of the story; the punk frontman who went back and finished his molecular biology doctorate at 51. First step is free and real: send me your question and I reply with the one source I would start from. The full brief is 600 to 1,000 words, five days, one revision included. If I cannot trace it, that is the answer and you owe nothing.
