Class 101: The Lessons of War

摘要

Seven summers ago we were driving in high-speed traffic on an interstate with the kids in the back seat when my wife saw a bee in the car. She's much younger than I. She was half my age when we married. When she spotted the bee, instant panic set in. "There's a bee in here," she almost screamed. "Stop the car." My feeling was that it would be better for all of us to get bee-stung than to get into a collision. "Roll down the windows," I said. "Maybe he'll leave." "Stop the car," Peggy kept commanding. She was close to hysteria.
