The frigid Moscow night in question was in 1984, and \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e correspondent Doder reported signs that Soviet leader Yuri Andropov had died. The CIA at first dismissed the reporting, saying that \"Doder must be smoking pot.\" When Soviet authorities confirmed Andropov's death, journalists and intelligence officials questioned how a lone reporter could scoop the multibillion-dollar US spy agency. The stage was set for Cold War-style revenge against the star journalist, and that long night at the teletype machine in Moscow became a pivotal moment in Doder's life. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e After emigrating to the United States from Yugoslavia in 1956, Doder committed himself to the journalist's mission. He knew that reporting the truth could come at a price, something driven home by his years of covering Soviet dissidents and watching his \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e colleagues break the Watergate story. Still, he was not prepared for a cloaked act of reprisal from the CIA.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Taking aim at Doder, the CIA insinuated a story into \u003ci\u003eTime magazine\u003c\/i\u003e suggesting that he had been coopted by the KGB. Doder's professional world collapsed and his personal life was shaken as he fought \u003ci\u003eTime\u003c\/i\u003e in court. In \u003ci\u003eThe Inconvenient Journalist\u003c\/i\u003e, Doder reflects on this attempt to destroy his reputation, his dedication to reporting the truth, and the vital but precarious role of the free press today. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Inconvenient Journalist\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful human story and a must-read for all concerned about freedom of the press and truthful reporting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue: The Assassination\u003cbr\u003e 1.
