He examines the insect life that inhabits a decomposing corpse, to understand when a person died and other circumstances of death. Kennedy ("Pagan" is not her real first name) has staked out a niche for herself as a "1970's survivor and devotee." She has written an investigation of that decade, seen through its artifacts and social upheaval, Platforms: A Microwaved Cultural Chronicle of the 1970's. In the 70's she says, "we inherited this idea of recycling culture. I wanted to write a nostalgia book about the period when nostalgia began as an industry and everything became like an image of itself." (Broadcast Date: May 17, 2000 and May 4, 1994)
