Jeff Coplon
Jeff Coplon (born 1951, in Schenectady, New York) is an American journalist and author.
==Written Work==
After eight years as a daily newspaper reporter, culminating in a stint at the ''Kansas City Times'', he went on to co-write (or "ghost") 11 autobiographies. These include works with Cher and Bill Parcells, along with three ''New York Times'' best-sellers: ''Return with Honor'' (with Captain Scott O'Grady, 1995); ''My Story'' (with Sarah, Duchess of York, 1996); and ''My Father's Daughter'' (with Tina Sinatra, 2000). He also co-wrote, with Betty Mahmoody, ''For the Love of a Child'' (1992), the sequel to ''Not Without My Daughter''.
Coplon's solo work includes a non-fictional treatment of rodeo bull riding (''Gold Buckle'', HarperCollins West, 1995) and magazine pieces for ''New York (magazine)'' (where he is a contributing editor), ''The New Yorker'', ''The New York Times Magazine'', ''Rolling Stone'', ''Men's Journal'', and ''Playboy''. While his topics vary broadly, he has written frequently about NBA basketball, and his work has twice been anthologized in ''The Best American Sports Writing'' (1991 and 1997). His ''New York'' profile of the late Gerald Boyd, the highest-ranking black editor in the history of the ''New York Times'', won a 2008 Mirror Award from the Newhouse School.
In a controversial 1988 article in ''The Village Voice'', Coplon criticized Robert Conquest's and James Mace's scholarship on the Ukrainian famine of the 1930s and the US Congress' Ukraine Famine Commission results. He also cited sovietologist historians Alexander Dallin of Stanford, Moshe Lewin of the University of Pennsylvania, Lynne Viola of SUNY- Binghamton, Roberta Manning of Boston College, and John Arch Getty, sharing their historical interpretations on the Ukrainian famine stating: "By general consensus, Stalin was partially responsible", "Stalin and the Politburo played major roles", and "There is no evidence it was intentionally directed against Ukrainians".〔 In the article, according to journalist Cathy Young, Coplon "dismissed as absurd the idea that the famine had been created by the Communist regime". In a letter to the editors, Robert Conquest dismissed the article by Coplon as "error and absurdity".〔 – Reprinted by the ''The Ukrainian Weekly'', February 21, 1988〕
