Watching himself getting mugged was one of the most astonishing things 
Hackworth had ever seen. He could not stop watching it. The feed went to slow 
motion, and then out came the book. Tears came to Hackworth's eyes, and he made 
an effort not to blink lest he dislodge them. Not that it really mattered, 
since Lieutenant Chang was standing rather close to him and could no doubt see 
everything.
