My Take

I'll be upfront: writing a "My Take" on David Berkowitz is a different exercise than gushing about a musician or actor. This is the Son of Sam — the .44 Caliber Killer who terrorized New York City from 1975 to 1977, killing six people and wounding eleven more while the whole city spiraled into a very real, very public panic. What strikes me is how ordinary his background looks on paper: a Brooklyn kid, Christopher Columbus High School, a stretch in the Army. Yet he became the face of late-70s New York at its most frightened and chaotic. His capture in 1977 was a cultural moment. The victims and their families are the story that actually matters here, and I think the only honest thing to say is that remembering him means never letting their names be forgotten either.
