"The real problem was that reporters violated the invisible walls of the fraternity. They blurted out questions and spoke boorish words about... all the unspoken things!--about fear and bravery (they wold say the words!) and how you felt at such-and-such a moment! It as obscene! They presumed a knowledge an an intimacy they did not have and had no right to."

The Right Stuff, Tom Wolfe
