miss stein and the garage keeper agree that hemingway and company were part of a lost generation. i guess i'm part of a different generation. but if i don't know the generation's name, does that mean i'm lost? like any name, the lost generation is just a -dirty, easy, label- after all.

Be the machine

When Weingarten is reporting a story, according to everyone, he’s focused on that and nothing else. He ceases to be a human being—he becomes, in his own words, “the machine.” He hoovers up information and that’s it. Maybe he sleeps. Maybe he eats a sandwich. But mostly he does what he does until it’s done.
