B. Dusty Nathan

Dusty Nathan began his career in journalism as a stringer at the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner before making his way east to write at the Washington Star. Later, Nathan toiled for more than a decade as a columnist for Gannett, the world's largest newspaper chain. His Camden Courier Post work won him honors as second runner-up in the John Hervey awards in 1996, judged blindly by the New York Times.^{[citation needed]}

He was a columnist for Casino Player, the respected national publication devoted to gaming and the casino industry [1]. He has written for other venerable publications such as Daily Racing Form; Hoofbeats and Times: In Harness.

Nathan was executive-producer and host of "Dusty Nathan's Winner's Circle," heard on Philadelphia 50,000-watt radio station, WNWR. [2] Nathan's show covered the worlds of sports and entertainment, and often featured Philadelphia Eagles coach Ray Rhodes, as sidekick and special guest. The program has several exclusive interviews to its credit, most notably, one of Johnny Cash's last appearances and world-famous, champion jockey Eddie Arcaro, who gave his final interview to Nathan, before passing away. [3]

Nathan appeared on ESPN, and other national media after walking over the Ben Franklin Bridge "naked", due to losing a bet that he made in print in his column in the Camden Courier Post. His publisher, Bob Collins, forced him to make good, which lead to his now infamous walk from Camden, New Jersey to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania wearing a skin-colored Danskin and a fig leaf.

Nathan made hundreds of frequent guest appearances at racetracks throughout the country, who sought him out for his racing expertise, on their network telcasts. He also did a stint as co-host on "At The Races," a regional show devoted to horse racing, with J.J. Graci.^{[citation needed]}

Nathan served as Executive Director of HOMERUN: the Committee To Return Pro Baseball To the Nation's Capital, working closely with Leo Durocher, Bucky Dent, Willie Mays, Andre Dawson, Carl Nance, Susan K. Coti and Frank Higdon in a grass roots effort to bring Major League Baseball back to Washington, D.C.^{[citation needed]}http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/119019301.html?dids=119019301:119019301&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=NOV+18%2C+1977&author=By+Byron+RosenWashington+Post+Staff+Writer&pub=The+Washington+Post&desc=New+Group+Seeks+Baseball+Here&pqatl=google

Nathan's words have appeared in Time Magazine, and New York's Village Voice, as well.

Recently, his work has been selected and published internationally in university literary journals. [4]

He currently serves as a member on the editorial board of the Bucks County (PA) Courier-Times.
