...same space as the "real" people. But Deitch goes one further - mixing up true reality with the fantasy of his books. Often he insists that they are true stories. The introduction of "Boulevard" tells of how, as a teenager, Deitch visited the home of an old animator's widow and her reclusive son. Later in the book you are led to conclude they were Al Mishkin's widow and Nathan. Did Deitch really visit such people? Is Waldo meant to be an actual demon from hell or just a hallucination? Deitch never lets...
...widow may also provide evidence against Ay. A cuneiform document reports that a letter was sent from an unnamed widowed Egyptian Queen to the Hittite King in what is now Turkey, pleading that one of his sons be sent south to marry her. The writer's fear was that she would otherwise be forced to wed one of her "servants." Ankhesenamen, as onetime Queen, would surely have seen Ay as a servant.

"It's amazing to me how quickly you can talk to someone you don't even know," Leonard says. The two talk for hours, sometimes in mutual tears, signing off with the words "I love...
Poor timing was not the only problem, though. In meeting after meeting Feinberg came across as arrogant. "The guy walks in," says one Pentagon widow, "and he's obviously smart, but the way he spoke seemed like he was treating this as just another case. I wanted to scream, 'This is not just another case! This is Sept. 11!'" Months later Feinberg says, "I would have done some things differently," though he doesn't elaborate on exactly what. Dede Feinberg, Ken's wife of 27 years, believes her husband's demeanor was misunderstood. "He tries to give off this attitude...
