"An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal." I would have imagined that he was too numb to discuss it, and too raw to cancel class.
When I sat back, and thought of all the things that happened in history this week (some, undoubtedly, purposely held on a certain day), I thought about the professor who had survived the Holocaust, and now I hear cancer, who sacrificed his life for others. Liviu Librescu couldn't have been very old during the Holocaust, yet he died so that other young people would live. May his name be written in the Book of Life.
BTW, the picture of the student being carried out, bleeding from his femoral artery is from my college roomie's hometown, about 5 miles from my brother. He's looking at very serious surgery, once he's stabilized.
