...might ask ourselves if we, too, are guilty of making the hasty and vulgar variety of generalizations that are the pundits' bread and butter. Are we sometimes so eager, for example, to complete an essay as quickly as possible that we engage in merely superficial analysis? We appreciate insights, for sure, but do we always care to devote our own time and efforts to develop them on our own, especially when hurried, overly broad generalities will suffice...

Harris' father Wayne was a decorated Air Force pilot. One neighbor heard one of them ask the other if he had a metal baseball bat. From the garage came sounds of hammering and breaking glass.
