520    Michael Armstrong has spent close to fifty years either 
       defending or prosecuting criminal cases in New York City. 
       His public service has included stints as District 
       Attorney for Queens County, New York, and chief of the 
       Security Frauds Unit in the U.S. Attorney's office in 
       Manhattan. None of his experiences were as tense or as 
       dangerously waged as the Knapp Commission's investigation 
       into police corruption, prompted by the New York Times's 
       report on whistleblower cop Frank Serpico. Based on 
       Armstrong's vivid recollections of this watershed moment 
       in law enforcement accountability.
