Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators

by Ronan Farrow

There was a heaviness to these conversations now, a strange sense that we were not just speaking to each other but also turning out, just a bit, to the crowd that might someday scrutinize our decisions. I felt this, and then felt it might be self-aggrandizing.

I had the same feeling I’d had in the conversation with Greenberg—that I had to ask direct questions, because it was the only way to expose the space between what he was willing to imply and what he was willing to say.

Rich McHugh did the right thing, even when it was the worst thing for himself, every time. Without his fierce ethics and the sense of mission in his bones, not to mention the righteous indignation of his wife Danie, we would have been lost. He’s a hero and he lives in New Jersey.
