Joyce Manning: Do you know what it's like, just sitting around waiting for news? Maj. Mark Baird: You mind if I suggest a remedy? It's an old one , but it usually works. Find something else to occupy your mind. Do you have a job? Joyce Manning: I write copy for an advertising agency . Maj. Mark Baird: Now that should help you forget your troubles. Joyce Manning: I can imagine myself going back to write all those tired old adjectives: "Tremendous," "Gigantic," "Colossal!" You know what they'd mean to me now, don't you? Glenn! A colossal freak, Major, and he's my brother!
