Perhaps the main lesson here is that glossy pages give us stuff which is
heavily massaged for the reading audience, and (on the beneficial side) subject
to checking and rechecking, to include more than one viewpoint.

Doug's narrative would be enriched by the inclusion of the thoughts of his
companions.  Doug was willing to share;  the others, less so.  We are the
poorer for not having their thoughts.  Their sense of privacy demands their
silence, and I respect that.

No easy solutions to human needs.
