[Interview with CBS radio host Don Swaim, September 15, 1987.] ↗

You can't chase away the reverberations or the memories that stir as night falls or in the early hours. You can't chase away echoing screams, still less echoing silence ↗
seeing with the eyes of another, listening with the ears of another, and feeling with the heart of another. ↗
