"I have always been able to pray for the other dead, and I still do,with some confidence. But when I try to pray for H., I halt. Bewilderment and amazement come over me. I have a ghastly sense of unreality, of speaking into a vacuum about a non-entity. The reason for the difference is only too plain. You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matterof life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be

-- Michael Chabon
