Following the stories, is a brief section of "About the Authors". Excerpts from each:"Circle of Fire"... "Bill saw no flames, only smoke, so it had to be all right to go inside. He ran up the driveway, only to be blocked near the front entrance by a fireman. "You don't want to go in there," the man said. There was such a grave tone in his voice that Bill, suddenly fearful, tried to brush past him into the house. "You don't want to go in there," the fireman repeated, not budging... Suddenly he realized why Olivia was alone and why she was still crying. The baby must still be in the house.""The Camera Never Blinks Twice"..."Everything in me said to keep going... We were out front, exclusive on what might be one of the best stories of our time. This is what a reporter dreams of, works for. This is why you paid the price all those years, standing in the rain, microphone in hand, covering city hall hearings. This is why you left a young wife home with your babies when you knew what a wrench it was. It was all to get to a place such as this, at a moment such as this. Frontline, cutting edge, on a world-class story.""Nuremberg".... "Out stepped Goring, Ribbentrop, and Hess. They blinked under the bright lights and made their way uncertainly toward the dock. Behind them, against the wall, stood six American sentries, arms folded behind their backs. As the rest of the defendants filed in, [journalist] Janet Flanner started taking notes: "You look at Nuremberg, and you are looking at the result of the war. You look at the men in the dock, and you are seeing the cause."""Autobiography of a Face"... ""What's wrong with her face?" The mothers bent down to hear this question... they'd look at me, their glances refracting away as quickly and predictably as light through a prism... but I knew from experience that vague pleas for politeness would hardly satisy a child's curiosity. What had happened to me was any parent's nightmare."
