		But because Ken was frequently consumed by work and Patty was preoccupied with her own mental health problems the couple failed to consistently practice an expected level of parental oversight.
		However, Ken was concerned enough about his son's fixation with science that he urged David to diversify his interests and join the Boy Scouts of America—Troop 371—in his father's new hometown of Clinton Township, Michigan.
		Ken's well-intentioned move backfired as Hahn began studying nuclear energy under the tutelage of a local scout counselor.

	Silverstein, Ken (Harpers.org) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ken Silverstein is the Washington Editor for Harper's Magazine, and a regular contributor to both the print and web version of Harper's.
		Silverstein has been an outspoken gadfly in the newspaper business.
		While reporting on potential voter fraud in St. Louis in 2004, Silverstein was angered to learn that his findings were to be woven into a larger “balanced” piece on accusations being made nationwide, when it was clear that Republican charges of irregularities in St. Louis were insubstantial.

	Random House \| Books \| The Radioactive Boy Scout by Ken Silverstein
		Ken was so wrapped up with his engineering studies that he had little time for dating or romance.
		Ken hired a retired woman who lived nearby to check up on Patty and his son when he was at work, but by the time David was four Patty’s condition had deteriorated so badly that she had to be committed to a mental hospital.
		Ken and Kathy—whose daughter from a previous marriage, Kristina, was David’s elder by a year—didn’t marry until six years later, but within a year of meeting they bought a house together in Clinton Township, a conservative working-class area about twenty miles north of downtown Detroit.

	Daily Dreamtime - the investigators in the Cunningham scandal are very closely looking at what role Shirlington played
		KEN SILVERSTEIN: Well, I think it’s definitely tied to the whole Duke Cunningham scandal that’s been unfolding and the allegations of these parties that were thrown at the Watergate Hotel and the several other hotels apparently in Washington.
		KEN SILVERSTEIN: Well, again, you know, there are stories that I’ve heard, and, you know, he has denied ever being at any of these parties.
		KEN SILVERSTEIN: Well, look, I mean, he was – I mean, at one point he was reportedly on the list of people who were going to be identified by the U.N. This guy is clearly seen by the United States -- there’s no question.

	Following the disturbing trail of a boy who became a nuclear menace - The Boston Globe
		After an explosion of red phosphorus rocked the house David shared with his father, Ken, and impaired David's vision for a year, he was barred from conducting experiments at home.
		Author Ken Silverstein, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, largely blames David's parents, who split up when David was 9 and were too distracted by their own lives to pay attention to him.
		Silverstein also takes issue with the rosy picture of nuclear power offered in the literature that David surrounded himself with, especially the boy's bible, "The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments," published in 1960.

	The Radioactive Boy Scout - Ken Silverstein
		Ken is an automotive engineer for General Motors, as is his second wife, Kathy Missig, whom he married soon after the divorce.
		Ken Gherardini, who taught David conceptual physics, remembers him as an excellent pupil on the rare occasions when he was interested in classwork but otherwise indifferent to his studies.
		But Ken and Kathy were not assuaged, and, worried that he would level their home, they prohibited David from being there alone, locking him out when they were away, even on quick errands, and setting a time for their return so that he could get back in.

	Registan.net » Ken Silverstein Attacks CACI
		Silverstein discovered that Starr was incorrect in saying that the only oil company that had funded CACI was Chevron at a level of $25,000 per year for the first few years of the institute’s existence.
		Silverstein attacks Harvard’s Brenda Shaffer for her recommendations for US policy in the Caspian region, saying she “is so eager to back regimes in the region that she makes Starr look like a dissident.” Taken on its merits, I do not get that from the document.
		Silverstein does go overboard and it is not fair to dismiss the research of a whole group of academics and think-tankers just because of where their funding comes from.

		Silverstein also examines the pronuclear ideology Hahn picked up in the Boy Scouts (where he had earned an atomic energy merit badge) and dated government publications that touted nuclear power while glossing over setbacks in the troubled breeder reactor program.

		Silverstein should reread my piece; my summary of the pipeline “debunkers’” argument clearly refers to “Silverstein and other Bush Administration defenders.” Not everything I mention in my summary of anti-pipeline arguments was argued by Silverstein, and I didn’t say that it was.
		Silverstein writes that “corporations have become reluctant to invest in Turkmenistan because President Niyazov is nuts, not because he’s a dictator.” In fact, my piece quotes Silverstein directly -- I don't stuff any words into his word-processing program.
		Silverstein is obviously an intelligent and articulate fellow.

	Private Warriors
		But as journalist Ken Silverstein documents in his new book, Private Warriors, the end of the Cold War has only seen many of the best and brightest Cold Warriors move behind the scenes.
		Silverstein, who’s contributed to Harper’s and Mother Jones, establishes that many defense experts who once served in official ranks now roam the world as think-tank advisers, mercenaries and private arms dealers.
		But Silverstein has a sharp enough ear to capture the casual duplicity and amorality of these gentlemen, who survive outside constitutional checks and balances.

	Radioactive Boy Scout: The True Story of a Boy and His Backyard Nuclear Reactor - PowerBookSearch!
		Silverstein recounts how Hahn, while a high-school student in the early 1990s, tried to assemble a breeder nuclear reactor in a garden shed.
		To Silverstein, Hahn was two things at once: a kid out of time who imbibed 1960-style nuclear optimism from a chemistry book published that year and a kid of the times, the product of divorce.
		Silverstein explains that this wasn't much of a stretch, as his parents were carrying around enough emotional baggage to make Hahn look like a Boy Scout, which, indeed, he was.

	Registan.net » Ken Silverstein on Fred Starr
		Just because Starr goes after those whom the Ken Silversteins of the world find to be beyond reproach because of their good intentions and the policy decisions which have possible bad consequences in the real world despite the emotional satisfaction they provide, he is not necessarily wrong.
		Silverstein fails to mention why these two particular positions necesarrily make Starr a bad guy, leading me to assume that Silverstein similarly thinks others who share Starr’s opinions on these issues are goods damaged beyond repair.
		Silverstein seems troubled that Starr’s connections and biases are not mentioned alongside his comments in the media.
