David Pakman talks about a newly published book that deals with an unimaginable horror:
Imagine having to add 50 pages (that’s what’s meant by an appendix) dedicated to women who came forward later to tell on him. That’s the fear and intimidation that follow this man around. That’s how many women have been subjected to it.
And I sadly fear that this is STILL a lowball number.
Fear doesn't travel well; just as it can warp judgment, its absence can diminish memory's truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. --Arthur Miller, "Why I Wrote 'The Crucible'", The New Yorker, October 21, 1996
