He was the paper's first "environmental reporter".[2] He then was hired by the Wall Street Journal, where he spent the rest of his career. Among his noteworthy efforts were the coverage of allegations that led to charges against a former Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Espy, and an article about the continued Federal subsidy of mohair for 35 years after the military stopped using it in uniforms in 1960, a scandal in which he targeted fellow journalist Sam Donaldson for receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars while "absentee" on his inherited ranch.
