THE AWAKENING
Three years passed.
These had been years of great satisfaction for me. We
had re-built a bucolic D.A.'s office into a crackerjack operation.
The office now had gone these three years without losing a single
homicide case -- and it would be seven more years before we lost
our first one. The pink walls and green pipes of the old office
had been replaced with walnut panelling, as was only fitting for
what we all regarded as one of the better law firms in New
Orleans.
I regularly attended the National District Attorneys'
Association Conventions at interesting locations such as Phoenix
or Las Vegas or Los Angeles. More often than not, I was able to
get away from the office once a week for lunch at Brennan's or
Moran's or Antoine's.
I had come to accept it as self evident that I lived in
the best of all possible worlds. By this time our military was
deeply engaged in the war in South East Asia. Like most
Americans, I took it for granted that our government had our
troops over there to bring democracy to South Vietnam. Like most
