WBM You travel great distances for
long periods of time working for
Vanity Fair or The Atlantic. What
kind of budget do you have for one
of these stories?
MB Unlimited. I’ve never had an
editor say to me, “No, you can’t do
that because it costs money.” It’s just
wonderful. I can remember one of my
more notorious stories: I traveled all
over Africa and wrote a story about
the threatening extinction of the black
rhino, and I literally was chartering
planes off into the bush of Zambia
and going on anti-poaching patrols.
A couple years later, before Jesse
Jackson formally announced his first
campaign for president, I was traveling
around to write a magazine story for
the Philadelphia Inquirer about Jesse
Jackson, and it was just myself and
a reporter from the Chicago Tribune
named Mitch Rosen. Jackson would
make an appearance somewhere, and
he would get in a car, and he always
has a police escort, and they would rip
across the Texas countryside at like
120 miles per hour. Mitch and I are
in this little rented Avis car trying to
keep up. Well, one time we went to an
event, and Jackson left and he rips out
with his motorcade and goes to a little
airport and gets on a plane and flies
off. Mitch was beside himself because
he felt he was going to get in trouble
for losing Jesse Jackson; he’s supposed
to be following him. Jackson made no
accommodations for us. We were just
basically told, “If you want to follow
him, go on. See what you can do.” So
anyway, I said to Mitch, “not a problem,”
and I went and hired a pilot.
And I got to say the famous words I
thought I would never say: “Follow
that plane.”
WBM Do you ever fear for your
safety?
MB I have, from time to time. I try to
avoid it. I’m not a terrifically brave
person. But I went to Somalia when I
wrote “Black Hawk Down.” That was
probably the most frightened I’d ever
