Summary
The ball was, of course, very lovely, very charming, quite spectacular. Oscar was enjoying himself, he was sure, immensely; that he couldn't quite feel it was only a trick of something, the light, or his heart, or the champagne.

To say that he had noticed Liebgott would be a statement, and it would be true, but it also would not fully capture the situation.

Bookmarker's Notes
They were meat in that thing. They were like a deer that had been sleeping in the fields that the great harvesting machinery went over and sliced to ribbons. Sometimes he had felt like he had about two brain cells on and one of them was producing toxic amounts of adrenaline and one was reciting choice lines of Wilfred Owen. (What passing bells for those who die as cattle?) Now there was a lot he couldn’t remember too cleanly. Getting wounded was quite clear, somehow. Sometimes he could watch it happen over again as through a veil of clear water. Not as clear but audible sometimes like a distant transmission on AM radio bands from the great wilderness of the cosmos was an indelible memory of the mountains, the vivid lake in the hazy valley, the algaed blur of a prolonged drunkenness, and the fine resort room, since stripped of most of its valuables by several companies’ worth of wine-drunk and vengeful looters, where he and Joe Liebgott fucked in the en-suite bathtub.

Summary
When it comes right down to it, this doesn’t feel like the start of anything. When they get to each other, out there in the rain, it feels like this is what they’ve always been doing and nothing much has really changed at all.

“Now, she’s a good woman,” Butch says, just like someone’s been arguing otherwise.
“Yeah,” Sundance says, the word as heartfelt as anything Butch has ever heard from him.

Bookmarker's Notes
Being a traitor, being forsworn, had not stripped away away his conscience or his choices—he had chosen to slaughter without quarter, and known it for a wrong, a sin; and now he had chosen to lie with a man, and knew it, perhaps, for a sin, perhaps a wrong—but, as with his treason, the rightest and only choice to make.

Bookmarker's Notes
On the plus side, this is a perfect chance to study the effects of radiation. Like Hiroshima, like Nagasaki, it's an ideal, living lab. The Atomic Energy Commission organizes a program, Project 4.1, for this purpose: to study the "Response of Human Beings Accidentally Exposed to Significant Fallout Radiation." We expect there to be a lot of fallout radiation in our future, so it's important to know how to cope with it. And what else can we do? It's not like we can repack an explosion. We can't unchain the reaction. We can't take the bomb back.
