From time to time the AADMD Info Blasts offer bits of history, literature bites and other references to disabilities that we feel might be of interest to our members.
In the event you never had the opportunity to read this short piece by Jack London you might want to pour yourself some coffee and take a few minutes to enjoy this brief story.
