Summary: Neal, a former employee of Vincent Adler – and the only person from Adler’s organization to serve jail time – has agreed to help the FBI find Adler. Peter Burke, the case agent assigned to the Adler case, is worried about Neal’s safety and doesn’t trust the Marshals, so he’s keeping him close at hand. The attraction between the two men grows as they learn about each other and everything comes to a head when Neal finally shares a devastating secret.

Title from the Oysterband song, “Rise Above”.

Written for Round One of the wc_reverse_bb.

New York Times - The Angel in America

I usually don't like to copy entire New York Times articles into a journal entry, but with the paywall and so many friends on my flist who might not be able to access the editorial pages and the importance of the subject matter, I've elected to copy Frank Bruni's Op-Ed piece about Larry Kramer - The Angel in America.

( I LEARNED long ago to open my inbox with trepidation. A journalist is a magnet for complaints. )

Thank you, Frank Bruni.
