About this listen

 AIDS researcher Timothy Wright, his brother, criminologist Richard Wright, and reporters Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn on this edition of Fresh Air. In 1995, Timothy Wright was in Bolivia conducting AIDS-related research. During Mardi Gras festivities, Wright was assaulted and robbed, and suffered a severe brain injury. In the years since, his brother Richard helped Timothy in his recovery. We talk to both brothers about Timothy's injury and dramatic recovery. The story of Timothy's recuperation is chronicled in a book written by Helene Wright, Timothy and Richard's mother, called Someone Stole Yesterday. Also, Timothy and Richard Wright have written on AIDS and Bolivia. Nicholas Kristof, national correspondent for The New York Times, and foreign correspondent Sheryl Wudunn. The two won a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of Tiananmen Square. They've collaborated on the new book, Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia (Broadcast Date: October 12, 2000)(P) and ©2000 WHYY-FM
