No, I went to see a talk he did at NYU and he was doing a slideshow and one image that suddenly came up, it was a very detailed image of when one of the towers began to fall. I felt sick like Obi Wan in the Falcon then and had to leave. I thought about his presentation and couldn't find any justification of why he would pick that image to illustrate the point rather than another shocking historical image. Why that one shot of the tower falling when the wound was so fresh and the point he was making merely maudlin? Color me petty but I could never get that out of my mind and since that was before I had a chance to read his book I never thought of him again. That's how I deal with people who stir up my ghosts.
