THE POETRY MAN - BY FRANK FRATOE

Br evity For the Origin of Being even a thousand years exist as but yesterday, or a watch in the night, or repose quickly done. Millennia are hayfields which abound morning, flourish an afternoon, but after the gloaming are cut down at last.

Teach us how to know virtue in our hearts that we can have joy, and care all our days for each assured moment. Frank Fratoe lives and writes in the city

Clint Van Zandt, of Spotsylvania County, was with the FBI for 25 years, where he served as a Supervisor with the FBI’s internationally respected Behavioral Science or “Silence of the Lambs” Unit. He was also the FBI’s Chief Hostage Negotiator and managed the FBI’s Major Case/Crisis Management Program. Prior to this he was an Agent with U.S. Army Intelligence and is a Vietnam War veteran. He has been the primary hostage negotiator for numerous national and international kidnap and hostage situations and he has testified before the U.S. Senate. Clint managed both the FBI’s Crisis Management and Major Case Management Programs and has assisted companies across the U.S. and around the globe with their Crisis Management and Violence in the Workplace Programs and regularly consults on these and other matters with such companies. As an FBI Profiler and Hostage Negotiator, he personally negotiated with Branch Davidian cult leader David Koresh in Waco, TX, and he has conducted negotiations that have brought about the release of hostages held by prison rioters, and kidnap victims held by both South American guerrillas and terrorists in the Philippines. He correctly profiled Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh on the day of that fateful bombing and also led the analytical team that helped to identified the “Unabomber.”

A well-known author and television and radio commentator concerning crime and human behavior, he has made more television appearances than any other FBI Agent in history, to include over 3,000 national and international TV shows and has appeared many times on The Today Show, Larry King Live, Dr. Phil, Fox and Friends, Charlie Rose, Inside Edition, Anderson Cooper 360, and others, and has contributed to print media and radio, including the BBC. He is currently NBC/MSNBC TVs Chief onair Criminal Analyst. His life was profiled in The New Yorker Magazine and Court TV aired a biography on his life (“The Negotiator”). Clint’s newest book, Facing down Evil, Life on the Edge as an FBI Hostage Negotiator, is available nation wide and has been published in a number of foreign languages, as a book on tape, and as a Reader’s Digest Condensed Book. His book Dynamic Processes of Crisis Negotiation was awarded the 1998 Best Book Award by The International Association for Conflict Management. He also writes a weekly Internet column for Newsvine.com/MSNBC.com that is read by 1/2 million viewers each week. Clint is an extremely popular corporate, social, and cruise ship lecturer who has spoken before many diverse groups (U.S. Naval Academy, American Psychological Association, American Society for Industrial Security), and at numerous US and international institutes of higher education. He holds a bachelors, a masters and two doctorates. Clint’s seminars, lectures and after dinner speeches are exciting, interesting, dynamic, educational and humorous at appropriate times, and he leaves his audiences with valuable insights and critical information that can help them better understand human behavior, and perhaps even save their lives! Community Link, hosted by Ted Schubel, broadcasts on WFVA and at newstalk1230.net every Sunday at 8 a.m. in partnership with this magazine. Ted will interview Clint on August 25th.
