04.21.08 Times of Our Lives The different ways we experience the time of our lives. In our first story, Aaron Zarraga and Hanna Michelsen look at the invention of nostalgia and explore how it has become a way to cope with our modern experience of dislocation and rapid change. Then, Rachel Dowling, Daniel McDougall, and Tom Wiltzius interview families about how one particular kind of time—the time of grieving—has been changed radically by advances of medicine. Finally, we hear the story of how two people decided to make the time of their own personal lives synchronize with major historical events. |
