Kathrine asked Lawrence Wright:

What are some of your favorite topics to research on a personal level?

Lawrence Wright It always changes with the story. One of my favorite moments researching "The End of October" was going to a submarine base in Kings Bay, Georgia, and getting a tour of one of our monster subs, with 24 nuclear missiles. They were doing a test at the time, and while I was in the targeting room, one of the sailors asked if I wanted to push the button. Are you sure it's just a test? I asked. Anyway, we're still here.
