From COURYHOUSE at aol.com Tue Jul 1 01:32:44 2008 From: COURYHOUSE at aol.com (COURYHOUSE at aol.com) Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 03:32:44 EDT Subject: [A3F-community] Pausing and Remembering a Bad Time in Arizona Journalism History Photo by Bett Message-ID: Pausing and Remembering a Bad Time in Arizona Journalism History Photo by Bette Sharpe Glendale Daily Planet Publisher Ed Sharpe pauses and contemplates the passing of Arizona Republic reporter Don Bolles, who was attacked by a car bomb in the hotel?s parking lot 32 years ago this month (1976) and later died of his injuries. The Hotel Clarendon in midtown Phoenix, where the event took place, has an interesting historical display on Don Bolles and is well worth visiting. Sharpe was attending a meeting of Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ), who along with other Valley journalism organizations, gathered to make a toast to UNITY 2008 Journalism conference happening in Chicago and paid tribute to Bolle's memory. (This is just 2 items pictured to see the rest go to the hotel) ____________________________________ Don Bolles >From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Don Bolles (July 28, 1928 - June 13, 1976) was an _American_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States) _investigative _ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigative_reporter) _reporter_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigative_reporter) whose murder in a bombing is linked to the _Mafia_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia) . Contents * _1 Biography_ (http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/#Biography) * _2 Death_ (http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/#Death) * _3 Newseum_ (http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/#Newseum) * _4 Awards_ (http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/#Awards) * _5 External links_ (http://www.glendaledailyplanet.com/#External_links) Biography Bolles grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey, and pursued a newspaper career, in the footsteps of his father (chief of the Associated Press bureau in New Jersey) and grandfather. He graduated from _Beloit College_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beloit_College) with a degree in government, where he was editor of the campus newspaper, and received a President's Award for personal achievement. After a stint in the _U.S. Army_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army) in the _Korean War_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_War) assigned to an anti-aircraft unit, he joined the _Associated Press_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associated_Press) as a sports editor and rewriter in New York, New Jersey and Kentucky. In 1962, he was hired by the _Arizona Republic_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_Republic) newspaper, published at the time by _Nina Mason Pulliam_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nina_Mason_Pulliam&action=edit&redli nk=1) , where he quickly found a spot on the investigative beat and gained a reputation for dogged reporting of influence peddling, bribery, and land swindles. Former colleagues, though, say he seemed to grow disillusioned in late 1975 and early 1976, and that he had requested to be taken off the investigative beat, moving to coverage of Phoenix City Hall and then the state Legislature. Two marriages produced seven children, four from the first and two from the second which included one daughter who was born deaf. Bolles was the brother of _Richard Nelson Bolles_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nelson_Bolles) , author of the best-selling job-hunting book, What Color Is Your Parachute? He shares a grandfather, _Stephen Bolles_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Bolles) , with humanist theoretician _Edmund Blair Bolles_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Blair_Bolles) . Death On June 2, 1976, Bolles left behind a short note in his office typewriter explaining he would meet with an informant, then go to a luncheon meeting, and be back about 1:30 p.m. He was responsible for covering a routine hearing at the State Capitol, and planned to attend a movie with second wife Rosalie Kasse that night in celebration of their eighth wedding anniversary. The source promised information on a land deal involving top state politicians and possibly the mob. A wait of several minutes in the lobby of the Hotel Clarendon (now known as the Clarendon Hotel) was concluded with a call for Bolles himself to the front desk, where the conversation lasted no more than two minutes. Bolles then exited the hotel, his car in the adjacent parking lot just south of the hotel on Fourth Avenue. Apparently, Bolles started the car, even moving a few feet, before a remote detonated bomb consisting of six sticks of dynamite taped to the underside of the car beneath the driver's seat was detonated, the impact shattering his lower body, opening the driver's door, and leaving him mortally wounded while half outside the vehicle. Both legs and one arm were amputated over a ten day stay in _St. Joseph's Hospital_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Joseph's_Hospital_and_Medical_Center) , the eleventh day was the reporter's last. However, his last words after being found in the parking lot the day of the bombing were: "They finally got me. The Mafia. Emprise. Find John (Harvey Adamson)." The exact motive for the crime remains a mystery, but many speculate the Mafia holds responsibility, as a large concentration of Bolles' work involved organized crime, even going as far as to run a story naming over 200 known mafia members operating in the state of Arizona. Some suspected that _Kemper Marley_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kemper_Marley&action=edit&redlink=1) , a man who made millions in the liquor distribution business in Arizona, was behind the Bolles murder, but Phoenix police could find no evidence linking him with the crime, and he continued conducting business in Arizona until meeting his own death, cancer-related, on June 25, 1990 in La Jolla, California. The incident sparked an investigation in the months that followed, known as the _Arizona Project_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arizona_Project&action=edit&redlink=1) , with _Bob Greene_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Greene) assuming the head and drawing nearly 40 reporters and editors from 23 newspapers including _The Milwaukee Journal_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Milwaukee_Journal) and _Newsday_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsday) . John Harvey Adamson pleaded guilty in 1977 to second-degree murder for building and planting the bomb that killed Bolles. Adamson accused Phoenix contractor Max Dunlap, an associate of Kemper Marley, of ordering the hit, and Chandler plumber James Robison of triggering the bomb. Adamson testified against Dunlap and Robison, who were convicted of first-degree murder in the same year, but whose convictions were overturned in 1978. When Adamson refused to testify again, Adamson was charged and convicted of first-degree murder in 1980 and sentenced to death, which was overturned by the Arizona Supreme Court. In 1989, Robison was re-charged, and re-tried and acquitted in 1993, but pleaded guilty to a charge of soliciting an act of criminal violence against Adamson. In 1990, Dunlap was re-charged when Adamson agreed to testify again, and was found guilty of first-degree murder. Newseum The new $400 million _Newseum_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newseum) will feature Bolles' 1976 _Datsun 210_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datsun_210) , which had sat 28 years in a Phoenix Police impound lot, as the centerpiece of a gallery devoted solely to the slain journalist.
