Grating the Nutmeg

Author and journalist Dominick Dunne (1925-2009) was born 100 years ago today in Hartford, Connecticut. He was best known for his coverage of high-profile court cases, beginning with the 1983 trial for the murder of his daughter, Dominique Dunne. He was with Vanity Fair magazine for 25 years.

In our latest GTN, we uncover the story of Dr. Alan L. Hart, a transgender medical doctor working on the forefront of an urgent public health crisis, tuberculosis, in Connecticut. Our guest is Dr. Susan Stryker.
