he'd long ago accepted the fact that berlin more than suspected him. in a way it was his protection; he'd by no means won every roll of the dice. if the enemy killed him, someone else would take his place. the enemy would have to start all over again. he was a known commodity... accept an existing devil.

Whenever you're in a stress situation yourself--and there's time, of course--do exactly as you would do when you project yourself into one you're observing.

There isn't a day that we don't worry about those men who have survi..
