It ain't about if he knocks a guy out. It's about how he knocks a guy out. It's the style, the improvisation. ↗

Part of this new world of completely improvisational terrorism is that there were codes of war that disintegrated in the face of terrorism. ↗

To write a book about improvisation is partly a contradiction in terms. Improvisation is spontaneous. It's in the moment. ↗
