I remember thinking in ninth grade that I would like to behold the crossroads of history, with some grandiose adolescent hope that if I could describe what happened at the intersection, I might affect its course.

Far & Away (Andrew Solomon)

I love everything about news—the journalists in wrinkled clothes, the cigarette smoke, the energy in the newsroom before Peter Jennings goes on the air. I love the way reporters always know the inside story and the shorthand way that they talk. I love the stories they tell about getting the story—the chases, the near misses and dead ends. I love the cold dark of the editing rooms, where producers huddle with editors and create the piece frame by frame. I love the frenzied crashes, the last-minute feeds, the terrifying quiet of control rooms when stories air.
