	Rape, Children, Sources - CJR, March/April 92
		"Haunted Houses," by Madeleine Blais (March 22, 1987), explored the aftermath of a notorious Florida day-care case.
		Blais did not identify this child, or another whom she quoted later.
		It never occurred to her not to interview the children partly because the parents felt strongly that this was the only way the enormity of the crime could be shown, she said.

	In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		Adolescence is inherently hyperbolic, sportswriting is sometimes not far behind, and Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Blais (The Heart Is an Instrument, 1992) nearly outdistances both as she applies the celebrity biography touch to a subject that is diminished by being so inflated.
		When Blais discusses actual games, she captures some of the excitement these players must have felt, but she is more interested in the girls as people--even when she cannot make them interesting.
		Blais offers a complete and realistic look into the lives and emotions of The Lady Hurricanes, a high school basketball team putting it all on the line for the ultimate goal.

		Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Madeleine Blais P ’04 and David Marcus discussed their new books about adolescence and talked about their careers in journalism and the transition between covering news to writing long-form narratives at one of the Homecoming/Family Weekend WESeminars on Saturday.
		Blais, who has reported for The Miami Herald and Boston Globe and currently teaches journalism at UMass-Amherst, discussed two of her books, both non-fiction works about adolescent girls.
		Although Blais and Marcus both write about teens from upper-middle class families, the difference between their works, according to Marcus, is that the adolescents in Marcus’ new book are sorely troubled.
