“As a detective, he'd spent much of his time busting drug dealers and blowing up backwoods liquor stills. "Basically, I was a narc," he said. "So I had a close-up view of all the sickness out there. Junkies. Thugs. Guys who'd pimp their daughters for dope. You deal with that all day and you feel kind of soiled." He pointed at the picture of {Robert E.] Lee and [Stonewall] Jackson. "When I read about them, I feel like man's a noble creature, like maybe humanity's just going through a bad patch.”
