The flag of the rising sun, tattered with machine gun fire and shrapnel, ruffles in the wind and smoke behind me, perfectly framed but in soft-focus just over my shoulder and beside my ear. I look into the camera, ack-ack guns and bombs going off around me, and stare straight into the audience for the first time in my screen career. I choose my words carefully, as if giving a valedictory address: "You have always wondered how I speak your language so well. I am one of you. Have always been.

Maybe that ending's not as bad as you thought. Everything that had even a remote chance was held back for a later reading with a fresh outlook. We forgot about names and looked at each work on its own. Quite naturally, we were inspired, deeply moved (calling each other at all hours), often bored to despair, disillusioned, stirred again, and generally educated by the task. Some of what we hoped for was rarely there, but some was much better than we'd expected, setting standards of its own that began determining "our" anthology.
