God, I love that piece. Wallace's "oh geez, this is completely not how any reporter is supposed to do what I am doing right now and I wonder if I should just give up now that I'm halfway through writing it and beginning to wonder if it is so obvious that I am sort of just pretending to act how I think journalist is…
