You know there really aro a

thousands. But they don't open
up much except when they're
with each other, when they're
talking Willi "ex-Joes" who "be

tho sumo experiences.
What is frightening Is that
these men livo emotionally in a

look (orward. They (eel that In

I Uilnk my friend nailed down
the source of discontent among

his remark about a sense of
