I ran into a number of people when I was working near Foggy Bottom whom I’d only ever seen on TV. It struck me how often they seemed smaller and more frail in person.
(Carl Rowan frequently walked by my office window, apparently talking to himself - this was before cell phones were common. I had done enough writing myself to realize that he wasn’t nuts, he was working out the language he was using in a coming article, book, or interview.)
