Glad you stopped by, Luis. Bill had his stuff in one sock when he wrote this essay, didn't he?

Stay well, my FRiend.

Amazing piece of writing, from a perspective that few have. I did my piece about the Challenger, but nothing like this.

I just came back and read this again...it's better the second time.

I remember a few years ago Ted Koppel was looking for some sort of tagline to end his Nightline broadcasts. He was looking for one of those closers a la Walter Cronkite "and that's the way it is", or even a Murrow "good night, and good luck".

He settled on the word "courage", and closed the show with it for a while.

What the hell does Tedd Koppel know about courage?
