Striking Quote: I wonder for a moment what my own editors at the Times would have done if i'd suggested running a story about a young boy who made his living painting himself like a female whore selling his body to grown men (many of them ostensibly respectable men), who was horrible butchered in the dark corners of the city.
Powerful Word Image: ...:the words were like the flow of water over coals, taking away cracking heat and leaving only a steaming whisper, a perhaps momentary but nonetheless effective remission from deep-burning fire.
Powerful Sound Image: His voice faded into the slap of the water below us and the steady rush of the river breeze.
