DRUG LIFT
DARTS & . . . . . . LAURELS
By Cooper, Gloria
Publication: Columbia Journalism Review
Date: Friday, September 1, 2000
In a June 8 article, Niles Lathem of the New York Post presented
a richly detailed account of the rising role of women in international
drug rings. But he failed to give even a wave of the hand to Hariette
Surovell, author of an original, richly detailed Webzine report she gathered
over the past four years and that she called QUEENPINS OF THE CALI CARTEL.
Posted on the Exquisite Corpse Web site on April 14, Surovell's report
had set down the concept, as well as innumerable facts and phrases, that
appeared in Lathem's piece, QUEENPINS: THE WOMEN WHO RUN THE COCAINE
BUSINESS. (CJR's calls to Lathem and Ken Chandler, editor of the Post,
were not returned.)

Fabrication and Cannibalism at the Post?

The Rip-Off Artist
Freelance writer Hariette Surovell has a beef with the New York Post
too. She says Post reporter Niles Lathem ripped off a story she spent
four years reporting, on the "queenpins" of the drug trade.
Surovell, a seasoned investigative reporter, says she first sold her
story to Kurt Andersen in 1996, back when he was editor of New York.
It was killed after he left, subsequently bought by Penthouse, and finally
published this past April by Exquisite Corpse (www.corpse.org), whereupon
Matt Drudge linked to it with her permission. The story can be read at
Surovell's Web site, www.matahariette.com.
Lathem's story ran in the Post on June 8, with the cover line "Queenpins:
The women who run the cocaine business". Just as Surovell had done,
Lathem recounted juicy details about queenpins Daisy Zea, Maria Jimenez,
Mery Valencia, and Griselda Blanco, including Surovell's references to
one woman's "little-girl routine" and another's "bisexual
orgies." Nowhere is Surovell credited—although a source who
appears in both stories, Miami detective Al Singleton, says Lathem said
he'd seen the earlier story.
So is the Post one big recycling unit? Lathem and Post editor Xana Antunes
did not return repeated calls for comment.
