"We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed. Sometimes we must interfere. . . There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention . . . writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right." Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize Speech, 1986, Oslo.

when a colleague told her his great great grandfather was not killed in Ayuthia
in 1767 when the Burmese invaded, as he knew how to ride crocodiles.
