How would you interpret this sentence? “ ‘No comment’ means ‘no comment.’ It does not mean, ‘I hate to admit this, but yes, he has a punctured eardrum.’” “Well, people think that. And taking the Fifth means you’re guilty.” “Whatever they may think, it does not. A blank space on a form, the missing page, a void, a hole in your knowledge of someone—it’s still some real thing. It exists. You don’t get to fill it in with whatever you want. I’m staking myself on a principle, Mrs. Brown. This country promises us the presumption of innocence.” “Presumptions we have got, Mr. Shepherd. Coming out our ears.” “What would you have me say? Mr. Shepherd does not have a punctured eardrum, he does not have a friend from college days, he does look at pretty girls without whistling—oh, that’s a trap. Where does it stop?” She had no answer. “If the atl-atl was meant as a symbol for the atom bomb, can’t we let the reader have a chance to decide?”“Well, I know what you’re saying. The reporters would have you put in the grinder and feed you to Baby with a spoon.” “I don’t think the reporters really want to know the first thing about me. They fancy themselves artists. They’d rather draw freehand.” How would you interpret this sentence: …can’t we let the reader have a chance to decide? What did the speaker mean to let the reader decide? Thanks!PS: One of the two speakers was a novelist. He had written a novel and atl-atl was an ancient weapon described in his novel. The newspapers at that time considered the atl-atl as a symbol for the atom bomb.
