About This Item
Synopsis
Wilborn Hampton was born in Dallas in 1940. As a cub reporter in the Dallas U.P.I. office, he helped to cover the story of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. His account of that day was published as KENNEDY ASSASSINATED! THE WORLD MOURNS: A REPORTER'S STORY. Of his new book, MELTDOWN, he says: "No problem facing the twenty-first century is more urgent than the search for new sources of energy. As future scientists search for a replacement for oil and coal, they must be aware of the inherent dangers of atomic energy." Wilborn Hampton is now an editor at the NEW YORK TIMES and lives in New York City.
