RIP: David Burnham

David Burnham, a former investigative reporter for The New York Times
whose expose of corruption in the New York City Police Department in
1970 led to public hearings; tarnished top officials, including the
mayor; and inspired the movie "Serpico," about Mr. Burnham's chief
source, Detective Frank Serpico, died on Tuesday at his home in Spruce
Head, Maine. He was 91. His wife, Joanne Omang, said his heart stopped
after a choking incident at dinner.
