Praise for Truth to Power and New York Native
“Charles Ortleb, as editor-in-chief and publisher of the New York Native, was and
remains the Izzy Stone of science reporting. He was fearless in his
pursuit of the origins of the AIDS epidemic and the government’s response in
the 1980s. When his newspaper began to diverge from the dogmatic
mainstream, however, he was ostracized by the very people he was seeking to
inform. In addition, his laser-like focus in the Native on the
simultaneous emergence of so-called “chronic fatigue syndrome”—a topic
to which he assigned a full-time reporter, Neenyah Ostrom—was laudable.
These disorders remain too much alike to arbitrarily submerge one in favor of
the other, as the government has done without blinking for thirty years.
Ortleb took considerable risks to profitability by pursuing every avenue of
investigation on these matters. Yet, as much as Ortleb was criticized,
the Native was also a “must read” of its time. When I was
reporting my own book on the latter disease, I frequently spied the Native
on the desks of high level scientists at the National Institutes of
Health. As much as he made them uncomfortable, everyone in the AIDS
research establishment wanted to know what Ortleb was going to report
next. Ortleb’s caustic humor and piercing analysis of what he has dubbed
“political epidemiology,” and “homodemiology” by the Centers for Disease
Control alone makes Truth to Power worth the read. But the history
he recounts here is crucial reading for anyone who missed the Native in
its heyday or who didn’t “get it” the first time around. Given the recent
rise of infectious disease alarms around the world, Truth to Power is,
additionally, remarkably timely for those who seek to understand what drives
the American public health establishment in times of crises. A rollicking,
fascinating and important memoir.”
—Hillary
Johnson, author of Osler's Web, Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome Epidemic
“Charles Ortleb and
the New York Native which he so brilliantly led was the absolutely
indispensable source for all information—medical, political, personal—in the
first five years of the AIDS epidemic when the major media in this country as
well as the medical establishment tried so hard to avoid the topic. Not
since I.F.Stone have we seen how important individual investigative journalism
could be in breaking through society’s silence, when silence indeed equaled
death. It is good to finally have the Native’s heroic work put on
the historical record for all to see.”
—Michael
Denneny, author of Decent Passions
and Lovers: The Story of Two Men
"The gay press—with the exception of the New York Native, which deserves a
Pulitzer Prize for its comprehensive coverage [of AIDS]—hasn’t been much better
than the straight press."
—David Black, Rolling Stone,
April 25, 1985
“Because of the extraordinary reporting of the New York Native, the city’s gay
community had been exposed to far more information about AIDS than San
Francisco in 1981 and 1982.”
—Randy
Shilts, And the Band Played On: Politics,
People, and the AIDS Epidemic
“It is
undeniable that many major AIDS stories were Ortleb’s months and sometimes
years before mainstream journalists took them up.”
—Katie Leishman, Rolling Stone, March 23, 1989
