How'd you feel going in? So when I joined the military, I really did it to serve my country. But when I got to the drone base, I didn't know what I was doing. They didn't tell me anything until I got there. They put me in a small theater with about 25 other individuals. And then they played a montage video of drone strikes.

In New York, you collect a thousand encounters a year, a passel of handshakes, a zillion air-kisses, and boatloads of business cards that you pitch into your purse and eventually deposit your chewing gum into. Amid this break-neck montage of glancing contacts, I'm tormented by the constant thrumming fear of being fingered as a flake.

A montage is incredibly challenging. When I can, I'd like to know what the music is going to be ahead of time because that will affect the beat, the pace of the montage.
