“Just tell them it was a guy who used to live around here,” I said.

Then I walked around the corner and got in my car.

No one tried to stop me.

THE CAMPUS OF the University of California at Los Angeles is in the heart of a place called Westwood. It’s a pretty campus, full of that old college look. Brick buildings of European design right next to modern classrooms. I walked along a path that was a nerve center of activity, students going every which way, backpacks slung and heads down over phones, and tables with various clubs passing out literature.

As I passed one called Green Bliss, a blonde of sunny disposition called to me and asked if I’d like to see a documentary playing on campus that night.

“What’s it about?” I said.

“Ecology, economy, and equity,” she said.

“Exceedingly, exponentially excellent,” I said.

She smiled. “What’s it say on your arm?”

“Vincit Omnia Veritas.”

“Is that your name?”

“It’s Latin. It means truth conquers all things. Do you believe in truth?”

She frowned. “I believe in people.”

“All people?”

“Sure.”

“Even bad people?”

“Nobody’s really all bad,” she said.

“Hitler?”

“I don’t know that much about him.”

“Nazi dictator. Gassed millions of Jews?”

“Well …”

“The Holocaust?”

“I’ve heard of that.”

“Ever had a class on it?”

She shook her head. “I study peace.”

“History is about war.”

“War is not the answer.”

“Never?”

“Never.”

“Not even against Nazis?”

“I don’t know that much about them.”

I fought back a dark despair and said, “I’d love to stay and chat, but I have an appointment back in reality.”

She cocked her head.

That seemed like a good place to leave it.
