He began his career in print journalism, and was best known as managing editor of Fact in 1964, when the magazine ran a controversial survey of psychiatrists on presidential candidate Barry Goldwater's mental fitness for office, which led to a lawsuit and revised ethical guidelines against psychiatric professionals diagnosing individuals they had not personally evaluated.
Boroson has stated that David Bar-Illan was the creator of the article that helped lead to the lawsuit, even though his name was not listed originally.
A jury handed down a $75,000 judgment against the publisher and the magazine, though only $1 of the damages, split three ways, was personally paid by the defendants, including Boroson.
Boroson's career at the Daily Record of Morris County, New Jersey, ended rather abruptly in 2007.
In 2008, Boroson began teaching courses on famous singers of the past—Rosa Ponselle, Richard Crooks, Lotte Schoene, Conchita Supervia.
[6] He died at his home on March 12, 2023, at the age of 88, from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and various heart problems.
