Normally healthy people who had spent these hours saying the rosary began to notice alarming symptoms and even had fits of coughing and vomiting.I have pains here! “I feel this or that!” They feared that they had been attacked by the tumor. Their eyes interrogated each other and they avoided mirrors. It came from themouths of the men. They were “talking.” The Twerlik was receiving “sound.” I mean for the men right around our car. That Arvin, for instance. You know . . . your friends, sort of. He said,I should have been a bungler, dont you see, a failure. I won’t be made a hero of.

Son, there is only black or white—meaning, there is only one alternative to bravery, and that is cowardice. If you do less than your utmost you are a coward. You must put into your work all God gave you. The only alternative to crossing the water would have been to stay on the wrong side of it. Which would have been wrong. Why cant we go home now, Daddy? asked Mike, the youngest, and the small tanned face I saw there in the skimpy shade of the olive tree was mostly a matter of eyes —all else, hair, cheeks, thumb-sized mouth, jelly-bean body and usually flailing arms and legs, were mere accessories to the round, blue, endlessly wondering eyes.(The Wells of Why’”… It would make a poem, I thought, if a poem were needed, and if I wasn’t so damned tired.

She was looking towards the now empty window with what I thought was a slightly puzzled expression. The AEC is my shepherd; I shall not live.It maketh me to lie down in radiant pastures; it leadeth me beside deathly waters.It destroyeth my bones; it leadeth me in the path of frightfulness, for its namessake.Yet, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will hear no evil; forthou art with me; thy bomb and thy SAC, they comfort me.Thou preparest a fable before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointestthy words with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely, strontium and fallout shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwellin the house of the AEC—but hardly forever.

As soon as the plank was down, a man wearing a yellow slicker and rain hat and toting a carpetbag hurried off.
