He shoulda read his own book lol (by WalkSoftly)
"" PAMPLONA, Spain — An American who co-
authored the book "Fiesta: How to Survive
the Bulls of Pamplona" became one of their
victims Wednesday when he was one of two
men gored at the festival.
Bill Hillmann, a 32-year-old from Chicago
and a longtime participant in the nine-day
Pamplona street party, was gored twice in
the right thigh during one of the daily bull
runs, organizers said on their website.
The injury was serious but not life-
threatening, the Navarra regional
government said in a statement.
"He collided with another guy who was
running in the opposite direction. Bill fell
and as he did the bull gored his right leg,"
said Michael Hemingway, a great-grandson
of writer Ernest Hemingway, who
immortalized the running of the bulls in his
1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises.""

I belive the quote from the book is "the best way to run with the bulls is from the balcony"
