| Breaking News A gash of red across the screen and silent letters scream the breaking news. And forks are dropped, eyes open wide, talk stops, a hush falls long enough to read the words that race by fast, too fast to fully grasp their portent so the talk resumes, much louder now, and life goes on.
Except for some it doesn’t.
