"And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. A few hours without him and right away sheâ€™d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. And every time sheâ€™d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, sheâ€™d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and sheâ€™d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed."

“What's to be believed? Or does it matter at all? When mass murder's been answered with mass murder, rape with rape, hate with hate, there's no longer much meaning in asking whose ax is bloodier. Evil, on evil, piled on evil. Was there any justification for what they did-or was there? We only know what that thing says, and that thing is a captive. The Asian radio has to say what will least displease it's government; ours has to say what will least displease our fine patriotic opinionated rabble, which is what, coincidentally, the government wants it to say anyhow, so where's the difference?”
