In the first half the show we examine Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that is diagnosed 200 times every week in this country. Dee Mascari from the upstate New York chapter of the National MS Society joined us in studio.
In the second half of the show, we review the story of AIDS in America which is, strangely, sometimes forgotten in 2014. It was a huge story 30 years ago, but complacency has taken AIDS largely off our radar. The JCC CenterStage is getting ready to perform the Tony-Award-winning play The Normal Heart this month, and director Ralph Meranto explains why we can't forget about the AIDS epidemic.
