"Where'll the President watch it from?" I said. "He should have a good view from the White House."
"No better than us right here," said Howie.

"They'll see it all over."
"Africa, too? And what about the Eskimos?"
"It doesn't matter whether they actually see it or not. It will come to everyone at the same time."
I didn't see how it could, but I didn't feel like an argument. That's what they were saying on TV and you can't talk back to that.
"Everybody," said Howie. "Not just in this town, but all over. Wherever there are people. Even where they're not."
"You read that," said Paul.
