Jeez, that was another life!
We traveled to Uruguay to do a story about the fellows from Alive 25 years after their plane crashed in the Andes and they lived by eating their (dead) fellow passengers. LIFE sent two of us! Now, as I was saying to Dada the other day, magazines wouldn't send anyone out into the field. You'd just write the story off the interweb and maybe e mail a couple of questions. As it was I got to go to South America for a couple weeks and then write my favorite first sentence ever:
"They ate them."
Anyway, this comes up because a bunch of LIFEers are flying in for a screening/reunion tomorrow. Linda's here from California, and others are coming in from far flung places. Me, I just gotta take the No. 1 to TriBeCa.
Maybe you'll walk it

Mme Dowling: Ayant découvert ces faits potentiellement choquantes sur votre passé, je suis complelled de retirer mon offre de contribuer mon nom à votre blog.
ReplyDeleteMon partenaire principal, Catticus Finch Esq., a exprimé la crainte que d'être la pratique journaliste que vous êtes, en combinaison avec vos bien connu tendances meurtrières, vous avez rejoint les surviviors en échantillonnage de leurs camarades décédés.
N'ai-je pas vous appeler "The Hannibal Lecter du règne animal" dans un procès précédent?
Encore une fois, la honte, Madame. J'espère que la prochaine Grande Cérémonie d'Alimentation Américain sera bien supervisé.

ReplyDeleteHaving discovered these potentially shocking facts about your past, I am complelled withdraw my offer to contribute my name to your blog.
My senior partner, Catticus Finch Esq., has expressed a concern that being the hands-on journalist you are, in combination with your well-known homicidal tendencies, you may have joined the survivors in sampling their fallen comrades.
Did I not refer to you as "The Hannibal Lecter of the animal kingdom" in a previous trial?
Again, for shame, Madame. I hope that the upcoming Great American Eating Ceremony will be well supervised!
Nose Bite Kitty, Esq.
I remember that line! A courageous move on your part.
