〃Were　ready　to　begin　our　descent　to　Stapleton　International　Airport。　Its　been

a　rough　flight；　for　which　I　apologize。　The　landing　may　be　a　bit　rough　also；　but

we　anticipate　no　real　difficulty。　Please　observe　the　FASTEN　SEAT　BELTS　and　NO

SMOKING　signs；　and　we　hope　you　enjoy　your　stay　in　the　Denver　metro　area。　And　we

also　hope　—　〃

Another　hard　bump　rocked　the　plane　and　then　dropped　her　with　a　sickening

elevator　plunge。　Halloranns　stomach　did　a　queasy　hornpipe。　Several　people　—　not

all　women　by　any　means　—　screamed。

〃　—　that　well　see　you　again　on　another　TWA　flight　real　soon。〃

〃Not　bloody　likely；〃　someone　behind　Hallorann　said。

〃So　silly；〃　the　sharp…faced　woman　next　to　Hallorann　remarked；　putting　a

matchbook　cover　into　her　book　and　shutting　it　as　the　plane　began　to　descend。

〃When　one　has　seen　the　horrors　of　a　dirty　little　war　。。。　as　you　have　。。。　or

sensed　the　degrading　immorality　of　CIA　dollar…diplomacy　intervention　。。。　as　I

have　。。。　a　rough　landing　pales　into　insignificance。　Am　I　right；　Mr。　Hallorann？　〃

〃As　rain；　maam；〃　he　said；　and　looked　bleakly　out　into　the　wildly　blowing

snow。

〃How　is　your　steel　plate　reacting　to　all　of　this；　if　I　might　inquire？〃

〃Oh；　my　heads　fine；〃　Hallorann　said。　〃Its　just　my　stomach　thats　a　mite

queasy。〃

〃A　shame。〃　She　reopened　her　book。

As　they　descended　through　the　impenetrable　clouds　of　snow；　Hallorann　thought

of　a　crash　that　had　occurred　at　Bostons　Logan　Airport　a　few　years　ago。　The

conditions　had　been　similar；　only　fog　instead　of　snow　had　reduced　visibility　to

zero。　The　plane　had　caught　its　undercarriage　on　a　retaining　wall　near　the　end　of

the　landing　strip。　What　had　been　left　of　the　eighty…nine　people　aboard　hadnt

looked　much　different　from　a　Hamburger　Helper　casserole。

He　wouldnt　mind　so　much　if　it　was　just　himself。　He　was　pretty　much　alone　in

the　world　now；　and　attendance　at　his　funeral　would　be　mostly　held　down　to　the

people　he　had　worked　with　and　that　old　renegade　Masterton；　who　would　at　least

drink　to　him。　But　the　boy　。。。　the　boy　was　depending　on　him。　He　was　maybe　all

the　help　that　child　could　expect；　and　he　didnt　like　the　way　the　boys　last　call

had　been　snapped　off。　He　kept　thinking　of　the　way　those　hedge　animals　had　seemed

to　move　。。。

A　thin　white　hand　appeared　over　his。

The　woman　with　the　sharp　face　had　taken　off　her　glasses。　Without　them　her
