Ex-N.Y. Times writer HARVEY ARATON and ex-L.A. Dodgers general manager FRED CLAIRE discuss their meaningful stories that are related in books published in 2020. Araton's book is about a N.Y. Knicks fan who became his friend, confidante and advisor, someone Araton was there for as she was dying of cancer. A book written by Tim Madigan tells of the cancer hospital treating Claire with a special blend of superb care and empathy. Both men say that these books can provide hope and direction as we deal with the coronavirus crisis.
