That’s what he said.
It took me a week to calm down, he said. I’d started talking to myself. I got sick. I wasn’t working well. And my wife said, what is it with you? You see, a person gets upset... I’m such a… How could he say about me that I made such trouble. How could he… To say about me that I applaud after a terrorist attack… And I’m against such things. How could I possibly applaud.
