From the Daily Hampshire Gazette:

I reviewed the book Mapping Our Genes by Lois Wingerson in the October 31, 1990, issue of the Gazette.

From other newspapers:

At the present time, I don't have any of my news articles and essays online. The newspapers for which I worked in the 1980s either no longer exist or have changed hands more than once during the 1990s, and I have no idea who holds the rights to these stories. However, I'll be glad to send you paper copies of my clips.

Here is a brief list of newspaper clips I can send you:
