this, too, became part of the silence as -- silences my father and i shared. to make a story thus far would seem relatively simple. two generations face each other across the chasm of a war and an act that divided them. it is the story we all know, and yet there is my third character and third silence, the japanese boy who drifted back into my con scienceness only a few years ago. i no longer remember how he and i were put into contact sometime in the mid 1950s. like me, my japanese pen pal must have been 11 or 12 years old. i have no memory of his face, nor does a name come to mind. if i can remember writing my own address at that age, new york city, new york, usa, planet earth, solar system, galaxy, the universe. i can't remember writing his. i already knew by then that a place called albany was the capital of new york state, but new york city still seemed to me the center of the world, and in many ways i wasn't wrong. even if he lived in tokyo, my japanese pen pal could have had no such illusions. like me, he had undoubtedly been born during world war ii, p

the dream of narcissus, that there would be a silence loud as time. the dream of the writer that there could be a silence loud as time, the dream of time that rest might come, the dream of rest, that unrest might arise. the dream of the palm, the pilgrims would enter the village. the dream of the village, that they depart with their palms and the house dreaming of his leveling and the exile as well, the dream of night that the day would be purified, the dream of day that the dark would be lifted, and the dream of the dream but who is to speak of this? i don't think this needs to be explained, it's called mad man with broom. the realist crows return at earliest morning. and the madman with broom, madman in his night shirt with a broom, he, too, returns. he thinks to roust the crows from the mulberry boughs by jabing and swirling his broom, by crazily twirling his broom in the wet summer air and hurling curses skyward beyond the boughs and the crows toward the fading gods beyond the fading stars. but the realist crows know it is only a man in a nightshi

this is a story of multiple silences. the first is the silence of my father, wants no barrier to the stories i told myself. if anything the silence enhanced since the 1950s. mail silence seemed a hero can attribute and perhaps it was though hardly in the way i imagined at the time. sitting in the dark than in any world war ii movie was enough for me. it turned out the only part of his war i possessed was its final act and a puzzling silence. the very idea of nuclear destruction seemed not to touch him. like other schools to go awry when through nuclear attack drills with silence -- he worked in his office. it was i who watch the nuclear monsters of the teen years of the earth. it was i who went -- i was shocked by my first sight of human casualties. to catch a glimpse of how the world might end. it was i who is of a mushroom cloud rise in my dreams and felt its heat through my arms before i awoke. of all this i said not a word to him or him to me. his erstwhile enemies, my father was not silent. he hated the japanese with

he let the silence work for them.opposite and touch his heart and say you know, i mean no disrespect and this is not me saying it but what do you say to people who say you're a lunatic? then he would wait. he was charming. he then would wait for the person to answer. and if they didn't answer, he wouldn't fill the void with his own sound. he would wait. and the interview subject would get nervous and would fill the void with their gibber. >> one of the great interviewers of all time, still is, he said to me the value of silence can never be overstated. because people always want to fill the gap. if i had stopped here and sat back, one of you would start panicking. you never stop talking. but it is silence is a weapon. i think mike wallace used that almost better than anybody i've seen. he would lay the trap. he'd never be overly bearing. >> one of the reasons they filled the void when he sat back, they knew he had done his homework. and they were afraid. i would watch people in the white house press corps, tv people s

there was silence. silence. dead silence. he thought that he had lost them. he thought that he had lost them. for that one terrible moment he stood there not with his army but in opposition to it. fearing this, he reached into his pocket once more, and took out a letter. it was a letter from joseph jones, congressman from virginia, and here the document becomes all important. i mentioned the document at massachusetts historical society is written in washington's own hands, large letters. the official copy of the speech, the one written by his seconds in the papers of washington in the library of congress is written in the hand of his secretary, jonathan trumble, it's a fine hand, a normal size hand. friday night i think washington did an all-nighter. after the speech had been written by him and by his secretaries i'm sure there was collaboration, he sat down and recopied that speech in large letters, in his own hands so he could read it. kind of an early version of a teleprompter. but now, as he read joseph jones' letter he began to stumble over the words. he
