Hot Kenneth Time Machine

On an unseasonably warm October day, a well-known national journalist was walking on Park Avenue, in New York City. Without warning, this person was attacked by a stranger, shouting a rather strange phrase. The attacker disappeared as quickly as he appeared. In a case that was solved a decade later (probably), today we’ll explore the motives, unravel the secrets, and shed light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding the unprovoked attack on that someone you might have heard of, or have heard his end-of-broadcast sign-off, at least for a while…“courage.”
