 He was also the biographer of Kitty Kelley, Anwar Sadat, Andrew Young, Bugsy Siegel and Bill Clinton.The "Los Angeles Times" said of him, "Carpozi is the archetypal police reporter, tough with a core of sentiment, knowledgeable about police procedure and courtroom strategy, intensely curious and always active ferreting out tips, watching the deadline for scoops, and not above eavesdropping if the opportunity presents itself ... Carpozi ... is closer to Damon Runyon than Tom Wolfe in his style".Carpozi died at his home in Belle Terre, Long Island, New York of emphysema and heart failure.
