Richard Bradley (born Richard Blow; 1964) is an American writer and journalist. ==Life and career== Bradley graduated from Yale University in 1986, and began working at ''The New Republic'' in Washington, D.C., followed by ''Regardie's'' magazine. He thereafter earned a master's degree in American history from Harvard University. Bradley returned to ''Regardie's'' in 1992 as editor-in-chief, and became one of the original editors of ''George'' magazine in 1995. His first book, ''American Son'', about John F. Kennedy Jr. and ''George'' magazine, was a nonfiction bestseller, reaching #1 on the nonfiction New York Times Bestseller List. The book generated controversy because Bradley violated a confidentiality agreement by writing it.〔Kelly, Keith J. (17 November 2004). (The Big Blow by Blow - Author Changing Last Name as New Book Is due ), ''New York Post''〕 GQ magazine remarked that the book “oozed necrophilia,” and as David Carr recounted in ''The New York Times'', “'Richard Blow' became a synonym for New York publishing ambition, the very portrait of a man who saw his chance and took it. Some critics noted that Mr. Bradley fired two George writers, Lisa DePaulo and Douglas Brinkley, for speaking to the press about their infinitely famous boss after Mr. Kennedy's death in 1999, and then turned around to write his own account.” 〔http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940DEEDB133AF934A25751C0A9639C8B63〕 He changed his surname from Blow to Bradley (his mother's maiden name) prior to releasing his second book in 2005, ''Harvard Rules'', about Harvard president Lawrence Summers.〔Carr, David (17 February 2005). (Amid the Firestorm, a Portrait of Harvard ), ''The New York Times''〕 His 2008 book ''The Greatest Game'' is about the one-game playoff between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox on October 2, 1978.〔Nowlin, Bill. (The game that put a Dent in Sox fans' dreams ), ''Boston Globe''〕〔Reider, Abigail (25 February 2005). (Bradley ’86 predicted Summers maelstrom ), ''Yale Daily News''〕 In 2008, Bradley was named editor-in-chief for the 2009 re-launch of ''Worth'' magazine.〔Miley, Marissa (15 April 2009). (Worth Relaunches as Even More Exclusive Title for Ultra-Rich ), ''Ad Age''〕 In November 2014, recalling his prior involvement with noted fabricator Stephen Glass while at ''George'', Bradley was one of the first serious journalists to question the gang-rape story related in the December 2014 ''Rolling Stone'' article A Rape on Campus.〔McCoy, Terrence (8 December 2014). (The epic Rolling Stone gang-rape fallout — and how major publications get it wrong ), ''The Washington Post''〕〔Bradley, Richard (24 November 2014).
