Hi MediaKyle,

I have two small requests:

1) I think it would be fair to add the following two topics Ward wrote about, because they were highly topical and covered in the mainstream media by Charlie Rose and Washington Monthly.

Ward wrote about Robert and Rebekah Mercer‘s influence in the 2016 election^[1] and about Mike Pence‘s Chief of Staff Nick Ayers.^[2]

2) Can we please identify Brian Thompson as the UnitedHealth CEO? It seems improper to leave out his name.

Thank you,

She wrote about Hewlett Packard,^[3] Valerie Plame,^[4] Kate Middleton,^[5] and Bernie Madoff.^[6] Ward also wrote about Mike Pence‘s Chief of Staff Nick Ayers,^[2] Robert and Rebekah Mercer‘s influence in the 2016 election,^[1] and Blackwater’s Erik Prince.^[7]

(1) She recounts an investigative story she wrote in 2002 about Hewlett Packard and its then-CEO, Carly Fiorina. She’d heard about a party for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in New York – the same night she had to attend a black-tie wedding. She “hoofed it in a taxi, arriving in black tie to this geekfest.” A “very tall man” and ” a major Silicon Valley player” approached her, wondering if she had come to the wrong party. She told him she worked for Vanity Fair, admitting that “I don’t know a thing about computers and Hewlett Packard, but nevertheless I’m going to write the definitive piece on the toxic battle that was being fought.”
