Doug got his start in journalism as a lad on the New York Post (in the pre-Murdoch days, when the paper was still owned by Dolly Schiff and was the most liberal daily in the country), and as a young man worked for a wire service.
Doug has been out of the closet as a gay man since 1973, and has written extensively about gay political issues.
Doug lives and writes in New York City, but considers Paris his second home.
