Yes, I know, I've judged a three-part series based on its first two parts. But the promo line for the Dec. 21 installment is "The Legacy" and is about the survivors of maternal murder, so I think I'm on safe ground. When the piece goes up on the Post Web site, I'll post it here for you to judge. Send e-mail to pressbox@hotmail.com. (E-mail may be quoted by name unless the writer stipulates otherwise.)
