The three journalists --
David Simon,
Bill Marimow and
John Carroll -- talked to
Lawrence Lanahan for his lengthy piece on Simon's "The Wire." Lanahan writes: "Many former colleagues of Carroll and Marimow -- including admirers of Simon's work -- went on background to warn me of Simon's bitterness. One former Sun editor praised Marimow and Carroll and then warned me: 'You don’t want your name on a story you're going to regret five years from now.'" || Read Simon's
Esquire essay.
