(11-29-2016, Original broadcast 3-23-2016) Today’s Topical Currents discusses how a family somehow functions after catastrophe: a random murder of an adolescent by strangers. Jonathan Kushner was aged eleven in 1973, his surviving brother, only four. But the survivor is now the acclaimed 47-year-old journalist, David Kushner. David Kushner has written of the Southwest Florida crime, and how his bereaved family coped. We hear the story behind the book, ALLIGATOR CANDY.
