...Once we entered StrangeBrew, we were clueless. Surrounded by crazed and efficient NBC people, we needed to have a plan of action. Franklin proposed drinks; Noah suggested dinner. While fending off surreptitious stares (we look too young to be politically significant) we tried to force down French fries and ginger ale. Our chairs were arranged to suit the camera, and we were requested to remain in place until "Hardball" aired live at 8 p.m. Constantly surrounded by gorgeous women toting cell phones and looking inquisitively into his eyes, Paul kept joking about our presence.

...pulls us, splashing, along the surface of the years. But he soon slows and we sink deeper--into his thoughts about living in the Diaspora, a tension that will return again and again. He delves into long discussions of Reagan's actions in the Bitburg Affair and of French president Francois Mitterrand. His thoughts are fascinating. I have said that Wiesel's reflections are not emotionally intimate. This does not make them less emotionally powerful. His words are personal, intellectual. Indirectly yet still consciously, they call upon a deep reservoir of personal and Jewish experience...
