TELL ME NO LIES: Investigative Journalism And Its Triumphs

Top British reporter John Pilger has collected a series of the best pieces

his new 628-page book, TELL ME NO LIES. In our excerpt, we reproduce
Pilger¹s introduction and YEAR ZERO, his remarkable expose of the genocide
of Pol Pot¹s regime against the people of Cambodia and the complicity of the
British and US governments. Other contributors include Martha Gelhorn,
Seymour Hersh, Paul Foot, Greg Palast, Robert Fisk, Eric Schlosser and
Edward W. Said.

KARAOKE NIGHT IN BUSH'S AMERICA

''I know it makes me a dinosaur, but I still think there is much to be
learned in America¹s small neighborhood taverns. I call it my ³learning
through drinking² program. Here are some things I have learned at Burt¹s
Westside Tavern:
  1. Never shack up with a divorced woman who is two house payments behind
and swears you are the best sex she ever had
  2. Never eat cocktail weenies out of the urinal, no matter how big the bet
gets. 
  Learning through drinking was never dull. But when karaoke came to
American bars it got even more entertaining, especially at Burt¹s where some
participants get gussied up for their three weekly minutes of stardom. One
of them is Dink, a stubble-faced 56-year-old guy presently dressed like
Waylon Jennings. However, Dink¹s undying claim to fame here in Winchester is
not his Waylon imitation, which sucks. . . ''
