| "Anyone
who has lived through combat and tried to talk about it to someone who
has not will remember the look. There is excitement, at first. But then
the listener's eyes draw away, sympathetic but distant and, finally, simply
uninterested. And you realize suddenly that you have made your life, and
your near death, a bore. So after a while, you do not talk about the war
to those who have not been there. If you're a journalist, you write the
story, publish the picture. You talk about other things." --Christopher Dicky, "How I Got That Story." New York Times Book Review (November 8, 1998):30. |
