AN EYE FOR AN EYE -- A special edition of Yesterday’s News exploring the criminal justice system at its most extreme: Inflicting the Death Penalty... Martha Beck’s Lonely Hearts Club Episode 368 tells the tragicomic tale of a romantic and business partnership that goes awry when a woman’s jealousy overpowers her professional detachment. It’s also a love story of a passion so profound that they take their love all the way to the electric chair. Culled from the historic pages of the New York Daily News, the Detroit Free Press, the Lansing State Journal, and other newspapers of the era. *** Show recommendation of the week - MORBIDOLOGY.
