You indicated on 12/23 that it was rumored that my novel, "City Editor" was based on my experience as editorial page editor in Oshkosh. (Thanks for the mention, by the way.) In fact, much of the plot material about the proposed sexual predator "treatment center" was in fact based on my experience at the paper. The names were changed, of course, to protect the guilty. You can find a good description of the situation in a column by executive editor Stu Rieckman, published in summer 2003. It's available online.
Thanks,
Larry Peterson
