Alex Prud'homme
Other Work
While I have written investigative and hard-news stories about business, crime and politics, I am equally drawn to stories about food, art and popular culture. In this sampling of my work, I cover everything from terrorism (Forewarned) to kitchen design (“A Tribute to Julia Child and Her Kitchens”), Monster Trucks (“Wheels of Fortune”), video games (“Zombies”), biotechnology (The Cell Game), and murder (“Should Johnny Paul Penry Die?”).
