->Not that we'd ever hear of him again. Outside the hermetically sealed circle of his immediate contacts -- his briefing officer, mission controller and director in the field -- there wouldn't be any enquiry.

On the contrary, tonight's show will be dedicated to everyone who has been affected by this terrible incident. This evening marks the first step of the healing process.
