To Sally, who showed me the benefits of the sport of golf.

It doesn't matter how good the enemy's weapons are. If he can't see you, he can't hit you. Cover, cover, cover. Make sure you're never exposed.

But if you want to win, you're going to have to fight.

Consider this a fair warning.

When other people are grieving, the newspaperman turns efficient.

Always retain the ability to walk away, without sentimentality, from a situation that felt unmanageable. That was a basic rule of survival. Don't lift a finger for a lost cause.

I believe that everyone has it in them to kill another person. In desperation, or hatred, or at least to defend themselves.
