Duffy Jennings is interviewed by Dick Friedman about Jennings' latest book "Report's Note Book: A San Francisco Chronicle Journalist’s Diary of the Shocking Seventies." In Reporter’s Note Book, Jennings weaves the political, criminal, public, and personal events of the 1970s into a masterful reflection on the heart of a turbulent Bay Area. In this powerful narrative, Duffy paints a dramatic portrait of a time and place that is by turns exceptionally dramatic and poignant, all bolstered by his uncanny memory and tender wit. Duffy’s assignments consist of political assassinations, serial murders, major fires, gangland crime, labor union strife, city government news, and more. Duffy’s front-page coverage included the 1978 city hall killings, the shocking trial of Dan White, the Zebra murders, the Patty Hearst kidnap, taunting letters from the Zodiac killer, and life as an embedded reporter with fire fighters and homicide detectives.
