When I read that my eyes teared and I realized that I had no one to tell the experience to, no one who would understand. Then I remembered something Miss Marple, Agatha Christy's character, said about what was so sad about growing old. She said no one remembered. She was the last remaining of the people from her youth. That scene has haunted me; it makes me feel so lonely. Though many people do remember the Cronkite-Sadat interview and the subsequent events, there is no one in my present society who does. The memory may bring tears to my eyes and a cascade of memories of the subsequent events, but I can't share those remembrances, nor the ideas that swirl around the topic.
