Ivestigative reporter stood tall in Boston's media world, until she fell in love with the wrong man and fatally compromised a major story. Today in self-imposed exile she covers school board meetings, types up press releases from a tiny newspaper office, and spends restless evenings phoning radio call-in shows under an assumed name -- all while trying to keep her old sleeping pill habit at bay.
