<blockquote>'Frank sits expressionless and unblinking, under an | |||
enormous pair of headphones, looking like a still life of a man in | |||
outer space. He flips a switch that carries his voice to the | |||
glassed-in control booth. "Sharon, get me a crisis hot line." | |||
'Sharon Bates, a station volunteer, makes the call; when she gets | |||
through, she waves to Frank, who's resumed his usual, distant, off-air | |||
expression. | |||
'Now he leans forward, his lips nearly touching the | |||
microphone, ready for the hot line. "I do a radio program where I talk | |||
about my life," he tells the counselor. He rests one hand on his | |||
heart. "And because I'm sort of depressed"--his voice takes on a | |||
caressing shimmer--"I thought of calling you on the air."'</blockquote> | |||
