That punch changed the course of Reuben’s life, instilling a deep fury inside of him that he could not shake.</p><p>Recently (two decades later) Reuben received a Facebook message from the guy who punched him. The two corresponded. Reuben talks with Dick Gordon about the power of anger and forgiveness.</p><ul><li><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document" /><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11" /><p><link href="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\RMCCAR~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List" /><a title="Punched in the Face(Book)" href="resolveuid/63e9748e0dd9e2cf6ad884ad03e8327b" target="_self">See photos</a> of Reuben from his Facebook page</p><style> &amp;amp;lt;!-- /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {mso-style-parent:""; margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; mso-header-margin:.5in; mso-footer-margin:.5in; mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 {page:Section1;} --&amp;amp;gt; </style></li></ul><p></p><h4><a class="addbtn" href="http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=608cc948ba9b" target="_self">Contact Us</a></h4><br /><h4>Taking Homes</h4><p class="imageleft"><img class="image-left" src="resolveuid/a14a749b458e9270681e5afe515a2522" alt="Nathan-Cutler.jpg" height="100" width="100" />Nathaniel Cutler</p><p>What Nathaniel Cutler wanted most when he got out of law school was to be in the court room. So he accepted a job that would give him plenty of experience with that, as a creditor's rights attorney. It didn’t take Nathan long to realize that meant he’d be the guy in the court room representing the big mortgage company when homeowners showed up for their foreclosure hearings.  <br /></p><p>Nathan says sometimes it’s hard to look himself in the mirror and know he’s responsible for taking people’s homes. But finding any other job in this economy is difficult. Most law firms are laying off attorneys. By contrast, the field of foreclosure and bankruptcy law is growing.<br /></p><p></p><h4><a class="addbtn" href="http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=608cc948ba9b" target="_self">Contact Us</a></h4> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 09:15:00
