Stephen Singular
Stephen Singular is the author or co-author of 22 non-fiction books, many of them about high-profile criminal cases. He’s also written sports and business biographies and social commentary. Two of the books have been “New York Times” bestsellers.
His first book, Talked to Death, set the tone for his journalistic career. Published in 1987, it chronicled the assassination of a Denver Jewish talk show host, Alan Berg, by a group of neo-Nazis known as The Order. The book was nominated for a national award — the Edgar for true crime — and became the basis for the 1989 Oliver Stone film, “Talk Radio.” Talked to Death was translated into several languages and explored the timeless American themes of racism, class, violence, and religious intolerance.
“As with Randall Terry and other anti-abortion leaders, women simplydid not figure into [Roeder's] equations. If all the abortionproviders were dead, the problem would be solved, and he'd never haveto think about those who sought to end their pregnancies throughillegal or dangerous means.”
“You can't really protect women or men from their choices, so let themhave their own lives and trust the process. Given the history ofsociety's efforts to control women's sexuality and reproduction, thisremained a revolutionary idea. No wonder it disturbed and frightenedsome people so deeply.”
