On Sept. 12, 2001, The Washington Post published
an opinion essay by General Boyd in which he wrote,
“While we may feel at the moment as though we are
in a trance, we are, in fact, awakening.”
— Katharine Q. Seelye in the general's obituary.
Movie-Teller
"… maybe it was McCain's role as 'movie-teller' that he cherishes most– the man who used to narrate the plots of films to his fellow PoWs in the compound. 'I must have told a hundred movies,' says McCain. 'Of course I don't know a hundred movies– I made them up.'"
— The Guardian, quoted here on McCain's birthday, August 29, 2006. (McCain's birthday nine years earlier was the date of Judgment Day in "Terminator 2.")
A story from McCain's
birthday this year:
"Hail Sarah!"
— Newsweek
"At the still point,
there the dance is."
— Erich Heller, quoted here
