M: Funny you should say that because, er, a similar thing happened to me one time when I was abroad. We were actually doing a concert in this bar in Germany. W: Really? M: I was actually about to appear on stage, you know, with the band, and I just thought, "I'll just go out for a little walk and get some fresh air," 'cause I had about half an hour before we had to go on. W: Uh-huh. M: And I went outside,you know,had a look around, walked around for a bit... and then I decided to go back and, uh, I couldn't find it! It was about two minutes before we were supposed to start. W: No, you're joking! M: Yeah! I thought, "Ah! What am I gonna do?" W: Could you ask for directions? M: Well, I tried. I asked an old woman, but she didn't speak English, and I don't speak German... W: Don't you? Oh, right. M: And then, I realized I couldn't remember the name of the bar, or the street it was on or anything. So, you know, I was in the middle of a town I didn't know, not knowing the language... and luckily, I saw someone wearing one of our T-shirts. He was obviously going to the conceit, so I sort of followed him back to the bar. W: Wow, that was lucky! Thank goodness! M: And when I got there, the guys were like, "Where have you been? We thought you'd run out on us!" Anyway, we managed. What was said before this conversation?

A: M: Can I help you, Miss?
Question: M: I was born in Chicago, but I didn't live there any more. I was raised in Washington, grew up there until I went to college in New York and then Harvard. W: Looking back. How did you think your parents shaped your character? M: Well, it's hard to estimate entirely. I was quite fond of my parents and considered them very good people. My mother was a kind of very feminist and a well-known Jewish poet. She became internationally known. My father was a lawyer. And though it's hard to say how much they influenced me, I liked them, I respected them and I'm sure I was influenced to some degree by them. W: You were educated in the public schools? M: We moved almost every year, so I went to a different public school each year. W: So you would have been in high school and what years... approximately? M: Oh, I was in high school when... 26 or 27? I forgot. I graduated from high school in 32. W: What did you study in university? M: Well, that's a difficult question. I started out thinking I'd be an economist, and then I got disappointed with that. And after an odd experience in my junior year, I decided that I'd go out and study agriculture or management, but I enrolled in both for a whole year and tried to learn the required courses. I lasted a year, and then I came back to the main campus and finished up as an economics major specializing in labor economics. W: Did you go right graduate school or join the army after you graduated from the university? M: Well, I went to Harvard as a graduate student in philosophy in 1936, and stayed there until the war broke out. I was drafted after I took my PhD exams in the early part of 1941. So I went into the army before Pearl Harbor. What was said before this conversation?
