William Langewiesche used to write for the
Atlantic and I subscribed partly for his well-written and informative articles. He was hired away by Vanity Fair 8 or 9 years ago, to much surprise, but I guess they made him too good an offer to refuse.
His reports in the
Atlantic on EgyptAir 990 and the Columbia shuttle disaster are still available on the
Atlantic's website, at
William Langewiesche - The Atlantic , along with much else of interest.
