...expanding fire cuts off firemen George Bennett, Joseph O'Hare, and John Rocca of the rescue squad from the hall and traps them at the window of 600. Clouds of smoke stream out of the windows, forcing the firemen out on the sixth-story window ledge. After a terrifying delay, the large serial ladder moves to the window, and the three men shakily climb on and descend. They were among six firemen treated for smoke inhalation at Cambridge City Hospital...
...exulted: "Its days are nearly numbered"-and died, 17 years later, of what his obituarists called heartbreak, as his fellow Americans headed into World War I and death in places like Belleau Wood. Trueblood was in the tradition of a thin but spiritually pure stream of philosophical pacifism that has run through Western society since the rise of Christianity, even though the Christian ethic generally holds to the Augustinian belief in the "just" war. But pacifism has usually found its firmest hold only within small sects, ranging from the Anabaptists of the Reformation to the Mennonites (of 389 Americans classified...

Tale of Two Worlds. The work is all the more successful because it is the most suspect kind of journalism: almost a steady stream of dialogue re-created largely after the event. In this instance, the dialogue rings true. All the conversations, Capote insists, were either taken from legal transcripts or from exhaustive interviews of his own. He did not take notes, much less use a tape recorder; instead, he depended upon his ability to recall interviews lasting two or three hours. He interviewed people again and again, entering the death house more than 200 times to talk...
