SYNOPSIS: JFK's autopsy failed to disclose crucial evidence. The deaths of John Belushi and Elvis Presley were far more complex than anyone has let on. Decisive medical findings in the von Bulow affair were consistently overlooked. These are but three of the shocking revelations in Dr. Michael Baden's first-person, no-holds-barred account of his distinguished career in forensic pathology. In determining the causes of tens of thousands of deaths, from those of presidents and rock stars to victims of serial killings, exotic sex rituals, mass disasters, child abuse and drug abuse, Baden has come to the unavoidable conclusion that the search for scientific truth is often sullied by the pressures of expediency. He produces dramatic evidence to demonstrate that political intrigue, influence peddling, and professional incompetence have created a national crisis in forensic medicine. Dr. Michael Baden received his medical degree from New York University in 1959. He worked as a medical examiner for New York City for twenty-five years, and was chief Medical Examiner from 1978-1979. He is currently executive director of the Forensic Sciences Consultant Unit of the New York State Police. He teaches at a number of medical and law schools, also writing and lecturing extensively about forensic medicine. He lives in New York city with his family. Judith Adler Hennessee is a writer whose feature articles, profiles and reviews have been published in The New York Times, Esquire, Vanity Fair, and many other magazines. She won the 1986 Front Page Award for distinguished journalism for her media column in Manhattan, Inc. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
