I was a junior in college in Missouri. As we heard the news on the car radio during lunch break, my buddies and I were crossing over railroad tracks that ran through the center of the small college town. The view is still clear in my memory of that one short stretch of road.
I also recall sitting stunned during the first class that followed, wondering why others didn't seem to be so affected. Of course it was probably just my own perception, but I was sure I couldn't have stood and lectured, my mind was so numb. I even remember where I was sitting -- near the front, left side of the room, by the windows -- but have no idea what class it was. Everything seemed to collapse into a very egocentric view for that brief moment in time. As if the mind were trying to shut out the bad news, but too late. Curt ------- W.
