Hope dies last: keeping the faith in difficult times by Studs Terkel
Another oral history from Terkel, who takes on the elusive subject of hope. Some of his interviewees are Brig. General Paul Tibbetts, the pilot of the Enola Gay, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, and Admiral Gene LaRoque, who said “Hope in my view is a wasted emotion.” More hopeful insights are offered by Dr. David Buchanen, who works with the homeless, and LeRoy Orange, who received a death row pardon. --SB
