It's a memory that's still very close to the surface, even after more than three decades, a memory that can be triggered by a single word: Munich
"...In the early afternoon, I stopped at a cafe for a cup of coffee and noticed a man at the next table holding a French newspaper with a huge headline that said "MORT!" and a photograph of what looked like bodies lying in the Olympic village. I rushed outside and bought my own copy of the newspaper. But my knowledge of French was minimal, and I still was confused about exactly what had happened."
