There are certain stories I have made it clear I effectively refuse to do, namely the "troubled-criminal-druggie-athlete-turns-his-life-around-and-now-everything-is-groovy" puff pieces, which blow up in the writer's face about 96% of the time, but I do it in the office, not by sounding off to the public "I am only doing this story because I was ordered to."

If I sounded off in public ripping editorial decisions of my bosses, if word got back to them, I would at the very least expect to be sharply wrist-slapped, and probably fired.

Isn't that Curves?
