His July 2009 Rolling Stone article "The Great American Bubble Machine" described Goldman Sachs as "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money" [1][2]

Regarding the 1972 election, Timothy Crouse's "The Boys on the Bus" (published around the same time as HST's book) is also worth reading. It's about the reporters on the road reporting on the campaign ("one of the first treatises on pack journalism" sez Wikipedia) and includes various colorful characters, including of course HST, who also wrote the foreword.
I'm sure I am missing some other topics that he covers since it has been years since I read it but I would certainly suggest checking it out.
I also forgot to mention his former co-editor Mark Ames who's also very good!
He formerly wrote for an English language expatriate newspaper in Russia during the chaos of post-Soviet society in the 90's (edit: and early 2000's), and now writes for a few magazines in the US. He's covered Trump in a more clearheaded take on HST's writing style.

"En route to taking this crucial first beachhead in his invasion of the capital, Trump did what he always does: stoked chaos, created hurricanes of misdirection, ignored rules and dared the system of checks and balances to stop him.
By conventional standards, the system held up fairly well. But this is not a conventional president. He was a new kind of candidate and now is a new kind of leader: one who stumbles like a drunk up Capitol Hill, but manages even in defeat to continually pull the country in his direction, transforming not our laws but our consciousness, one shrivelling brain cell at a time."
