...handle hostage-taking situations. Such a manual should be based on a very careful study of all the minute details of the experiences that surviving hostages have gone through. There should also be an extensive analysis of terrorist behavior in such situations: weaknesses, mood swings, what triggers anger vs. what is calming.

With my alarm still ringing, my roommate—who lives in the common room—begins banging on the door. Is he kidding me? Why the hell is he so inconsiderate? I’ll admit the alarm is going off, but I’m not going to let him control me and force me out of my bed. I won’t give him the power. Crap. I have to pee. I smack...
