New Epilepsy Drug Series, Part One
Want to see what I looked like when the earth was cooling? This is my 1st NBC News Investigative series on a drug that could combat epilepsy. Part one of three.
Corporate Daycare Begins
Since World War Two, the way to success for most Americans was to hop on that corporate wagon train, moving their families from city to city, following the economic frontier. That kind of life has taken a toll on the American family. Torn from the familiar. Far from family and old friends. Today’s families often find themselves alone. This is the story of one of the first companies to change all that.
Modern Farming
Gary Young farms 320 acres. Not big by Nebraska standards, but on that land he is raising 30 cows and 6 daughters. That can make a man watch his pennies. He built a solar panel to dry his harvest for 2 cents a bushel instead of the 15 cents his neighbors pay for propane. Young can process 7 times the grain for the same amount of money.
“These are remarkable and poignant stories that need to be told.”

“Those of us who know and work with Bob Dotson stand in awe of his gifts as a writer. Like the work so many viewers have come to love on NBC, this collection of stories captivates and inspires.”
- SAVANNAH GUTHRIE
“Throughout his remarkable career Bob Dotson has searched for the real essence of America – not by interviewing the so-called famous but by seeking out those unnoticed people we pass by every day. Dotson is a national treasure for caring enough to listen.”
