…the one one thousandth of a degree or something like that. Did you enjoy living in Ireland? Yeah I enjoyed it more than Arlen did. Ireland is no country for a feminist. The Catholic Church has so much power. She was continually being irritated. I on the…

And now I am going to bring in the brains of the family. We've had enough foolishness. This is my wife, Arlen who has all the common sense to be found in this household that's right. I have no poetry in my soul, I am totally pedestrian, mundane, an…

…lot of his books but I haven't read that one. Yeah it's very interesting. I have now been—. Colin talks about his wife the way Arlen talks about me. He's always putting her down. I like him a lot but I don't like that trait in him. But otherwise he's…

…magnifying glass and every now and then I would see a masonic symbol on the moon. And I'd call my wife and I'd say: hey Arlen look at this do you see that? And she'd say: it's just a blurry shadow, you're stoned again. And it was like the famous…

…and weirder. I'm putting out a newsletter now, my own newsletter. It's called trajectories which I co edit with my wife Arlen and Dee Scott Appel, and we're trying to cover the fantastic evolutionary changes that are occurring. Every issue astonishes me as…

…point. Oh yes Harold Garfinkel is going to be remembered as one of the great pivotal people of the 20th century. Did you, Arlen get involved with him at all? As a sociologist, I'm not an unqualified admirer of Dr Garfinkel. However I give him my…
