really good read, here's a snippet of vonnegut's sharp wit re Dresden bombing: --- VONNEGUT I said that only one person on the entire planet benefited from the raid, which must have cost tens of millions of dollars.

Just one. INTERVIEWER And who was that? VONNEGUT Me. I got three dollars for each person killed. Imagine that.
