Crystalline
“In Francis Ford
Coppola’s film, Col. Kurtz tells how after his medics
inoculated a small village, the Reds chopped off
every child’s left arm. ‘My God, the genius of
that. The genius,’ Kurtz said. ‘The will to
do that. Perfect, genuine, complete, crystalline,
pure! And then I realized they were stronger than me
because they could stand it.’”– Col. David Hackworth
