On the opposite side of the spectrum, I find this story about the journalist who revealed John Rocker's ugly side to the world to be a fascinating look at what reporting is, what honesty is, and how hard it can be to paint an accurate picture. It's clear that Rocker would have imploded quickly anyway, but it was both difficult and lucky for Pearlman to be the one he imploded in front of.
