One Day: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary 24 Hours in America

This was a strange book. It isn't really what it seems to be, which is a chronicle of one randomly picked day, Dec 28, 1986 in the US. Some chapters made sense, such as the murder on that day of Cara Knott by an on-duty CHP officer, I remember that one, but mostly this date is just a jumping off point for stories about randomly picked people. Sometimes the connection was simply that the person in question wrote a diary entry for that date. Or one guy's father was killed on the day, but the chapter was about him, and he hadn't even been born yet. Some of these tales were pretty dull or icky and I couldn't even figure out why they were included.
