A note from the Author:
This play was written with found material as its inspiration. The dialogue of the
two news anchors is taken directly from official CNN transcripts the morning of
July 18, 2003. I witnessed the original broadcast live on television. The
inspiration for Private Bertoldie's dialogue is taken from accounts in local
Missouri newspapers which appeared in the days and weeks after Bertoldie's
death. Nothing about Bertoldie was broadcast on CNN that day.
