John Hockenberry Quotes
One Of The Great Myths About War Is That There Is A Ground Zero, A Center Stage, Where The Terrible Forces Unleashed By It Can Be Witnessed, Recounted, And Replayed Like The Launching Of A Rocket. War Is A Human Activity Far Too Large To Be Contained In The Experience Of A Single Reporter In A Single Place And Time In Any Meaningful Way. When It Comes, It Happens To Everyone. Everything Is In Its Path. Yet This Is The Allure Of War Reporting, The Chance Of Acquiring Some Personal Mother Lode Of Truth To Beam Back To The Living Rooms Of A Waiting Nation. The Fear That Comes From Reporting On A War Is As Much A Fear Of Missing This Mother Load As It Is Of Being Injured Or Killed In Battle, And It Sets Reporters Apart From The People Who Have To Fight Wars. Soldiers Have Their Own Agonies To Think About As A Battle Approaches. Missing The War Is Not Generally One Of Them.
