PAUL SOLOTAROFF is a veteran feature writer at Rolling Stone and Men’s Journal.

Winner of two Genesis Awards and a National Press Club Award, he is a Pulitzer Prize and National Magazine Award finalist, as well as the best-selling author of three previous books. He lives in Nyack, New York, with his wife, Cynthia, who leaves the room to preserve her hearing and dignity when he watches the Yankees.
