Edie is going there to cover her. At 2 00 this afternoon, they told me, no, no, no, no press. Edilt is covering. I think thats where we start tonight. But if it makes news, you have got to give me a fill. Absolutely. I expect that we will have an absolutely exciting conversation tonight. I want to start by saying one thing. I am not a war correspondent. I am a point correspondent, and i am thrilled, honored and humbled to be with these women tonight. I work out of the point.

If nothing else, that era was such a turn in journalism that i probably dont have to explain to anybody in this room. And i thought that if we are not all
Im a pentagon correspondent, and im thrilled, honored, and humbled to be with these women tonight. I work out of the pentagon. I have traveled to war zones, but nothing, nothing, approaches what these women have done and what so many journalists, regardless of gender, i think you would all agree, men and women, did in opening the way to covering battlefields, to bringing the stories of american troops fighting in faraway places into our living rooms, into the front page of our newspapers. If nothing else, that era was such a turn in journalism that i probably dont have to explain to anybody in this room. And i thought that if were not all totally familiar with these womens backgrounds, we would just start by going down the line and have all of you briefly tell us how you came to be in vietnam. Its a far away place a long time ago. Lets just go down the line for a few minutes here. How did you get there . I got there it seems hard to believe, but someone in our day, like barbara, would

There may be an all powerful benevolent god and there may indeed finally be a future harmony which is achieved through human suffering but even if this is so and of course it is far from a sure thing, ivan says he would personally reject any harmonious conclusion that required the suffering of that 8yearold. Ivan doesnt say there is no god. Just says that if his plan for us involve such horrors, he cannot and will not accept it and hand back the ticket. I was 18 when i first read this and my younger brother john, 15, had just died a short three weeks after being diagnosed with acute leukemia. For me, ivan karimov had it right. In this fictional encounter, had more influence on my life and all the condolences and Family Support and help in the world.
