And a positive response to the Whelchel piece
Dear Mr. Thorburn,
I appreciated the clear point-by-point educated guess as to why the killing
rampage took place.
I have a grandson, age 21, who hangs around with life long-friends who,
being Irish, take a kind of perverse its-inherited - attitude that
drinking is cool. This grandson cannot afford to drink and I would like to
influence him to understand what he is getting into. Pictures of brain
deterioration, for example. Statistics about holding jobs, etc.
Can you recommend a book, documentary, some source material, that I can
obtain to start his education on this subject? It would be much appreciated.
I lived with an alcoholic step-father for many years - though they didn't
call it then back ...
