They also spoke about Nelson Mandela in light of his untimely passing this week. Nachum and Malcolm covered a number of timely issues including: the startling comments of Brooklyn Councilwoman-elect Laurie Cumbo concerning the “knock-out game,” the appointment of William Bratton to be Commissioner of the New York Police Department, the seeming change in attitude of Secretary of State John Kerry, the termination of a Hezbolah Commander in Beirut this week, and much more.
