1: Pulitzer Prize winning Philadelphia Inquirer reporters DONALD BARLETT and JAMES STEELE. "Barlett and Steele" as they are often referred to in Philly, are writing a new ten part series in the Inquirer titled "Who Stole the Dream?" Barlett and Steele say American public policy is largely to blame for why many American jobs have been sent overseas. Barlett and Steele will publish these stories in book form later this year by Andrews and McMeel.In 1991, They wrote a series entitled "America: What Went Wrong?" that generated the greatest reader response in the history of The Inquirer, generating more than 20 thousand letters. The series chronicled how government and corporate policies hurt the earning power of America's middle class. That series was turned into a 1992 New York Times best-seller "America: What Went Wrong?" from Andrews and McMeel. Other books by them include "Empire:The Life, Legend and Madness of Howard Hughes," and "Forevermore: Nuclear Waste in America." Barlett and Steele won Pulitzer Prizes for their reporting in 1975 and 1989.
