Kennedy. In 1977, Fonzi was invited to join the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations as a staff investigator. Later, as a special team director, he wrote and edited a major appendix, Volume X, of the Committee's Final Report.  Subsequently, his article for Washingtonian magazine, detailing the political limitations of the Committee's investigation, received national media coverage and earned the magazine record readership. Fonzi has been a contributing editor of Gold Coast and South Florida magazine, a feature writer for New York's Avenue magazine and contributed to Penthouse, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine.
