[Man] Good evening, I'd like to welcome you all to this evening's Institute On National Affairs' speaker. Before I introduce tonight's speaker I'd like to remind you all that the institute does continue for the remainder of the week. We have a lecture tomorrow. And I hope you all got a brochure on the way in. It explains exactly what we are offering for the rest of the week. I like to stress tomorrow night we have Horace Newcomb, speaking on TV humor. Following night, Emily Toth-- I'm sorry, Darryl Dan. Emily Toth is our afternoon speaker. Darryl Dan's on-- No, Emily Toth is the afternoon speaker, excuse me. Female wit. And we're ending up the institute this year with a performance, a second performance by Mark Russell, performing Saturday night. Of Anne Bates, former editor of the National Lampoon. And co-writer of Saturday Night Live. I'd like to see you all there. It will be ending up the week. For tonight, Brendan Gill has been a writer for the New Yorker magazine since his graduation from Yale, 1936. He presently serves as that magazine's film and drama critic. Among Mr Gill's other writings are The Trouble Of One House, Tallulah, and his memoirs here at the New Yorker. Of another of his works, The Ways of Loving, Kurt Vonnegut writes that he's awed and inspired by Mr Gill's command of our language and his grasp of the subject. I'd like to have you all join me in welcoming Mr Brendan Gill.\r\n\r\n- [Brendan] Thank you very much Tom for that versively, brief obituary which I like to have be kept short like that. And the fewer things I'm told that I've done, the happier I feel about the possibilities for the future. One of my daughters paid me, or asked in the form of a question what amounted to a characteristic daughter to father question when she had read something that I had done in the papers and she said, \"Oh, Pop, aren't you glad \"that you're peaking so late?\" Are we having trouble with the mike?\r\n\r\n- [Man] Let's see here.\r\n\r\n- [Brendan] Adjust anything you like. Four score and seven years ago. Nothing yet?\r\n\r\n- [Man] I thought we did have it on. Maybe I turned it off. Go ahead.\r\n\r\n- [Brendan] Now what?\r\n\r\n- [Man] Keep speaking.\r\n\r\n- [Brendan] All right. Our forefathers brought forth on this continent. A new nation. All right, you don't think you could hear me anyway? As I was saying when I was so rudely interrupted by technical breakdown. Now can you hear me?\r\n\r\n- [Man] No.\r\n\r\n- [Brendan] It seems to be on. Now can you hear me? Great doubts in the back of the room. I was astonished to learn about the length of this conference. I can't believe that anybody can go on talking about humor, or even thinking about humor for almost a week. It seems like on of the most difficult topics in the world to sustain a conversation about. Much less a series of talks. But I admire your fortitude. Once, many years ago, Wolcott Gibbs, one of our most brilliant writers on the New Yorker was writing reviews and he had to review a book about humor. And he said of the author, that Mr So-And-So had got humor down and broken her arm. And that's the hazard of talking about humor. Ross, the founder of The New Yorker magazine had a dictum, if you can't be funny, be interesting. And so I will do my best. That's what I always say when people write in to me at the magazine and criticize me for something that I've done wrong, or in their eyes have done wrong. Very often it would turn out to be that the author of the letter is a seven or eight year old child urging me to pull myself together. And I always write back that I will, I will, I promise I will. My credentials for talking about humor are, I suppose, partly my personal history. Which I fear has the drawback of being cheerful, rather than humorous. I am a notoriously cheerful person. And I leap out of bed every morning on the assumption the day will prove to be the best and merriest that I have ever known. This is very depressing. Especially for people who do not leap out of bed in the morning. And who find my high spirits repulsive. It should be part of my credentials for speaking out on humor that I've worked for a so-called humorous magazine for almost 45 years. But, a humorous magazine is the last place on earth, as you might expect, to look for humor. Humorists are men who notoriously take a very dark view of life. One thinks of Mark Twain in this regard. And perhaps you remember his remark when he was asked his opinion of the Jews. And he said, they are members of the human race, worse than that I cannot say of them. And one thinks of Ring Lardner, certainly I suppose, the darkest of all our humorists, miserable, miserably unhappy man. I don't know one happy story about him. Apparently no matter how bad he was feeling early in the morning, having not gone to bed, much less having leapt out of bed. But having drunk all night as he did. The one little joke that could make him happy was a joke that he would repeat about two men in a bar and one man says to the other bar-- To the other man, \"Where were you born?\" And the man reply, \"I was born out of wedlock.\" And the first man said, \"Mighty pretty country around there.\" That's what it took to keep Ring Lardner from the blackest despair. And coming closer to home, in my own experience of course, that was on the New Yorker, Ferber, who too was compactive gloom. He never had a really merry moment in his life except on those occasions when at a party or in some social occasion, he was able to cause two lifelong friends to become bitter enemies. Then his face assumed an expression of radiance. This was one of the few satisfactions that I ever knew him to know. Needless to say, he and I were not friends or not friends for long. Because he was always attempting to break up all the relationships on the magazine. He was a man who however had friends, older friends than I, who forgave him everything in part because he was, it is true, nearly blind. And that is a terrifying affliction. Before he went blind he used to wander around the carters at the magazine, writing on the walls, always the same message. \"Too late, too late, too late.\" We never knew what it was too late for. For years an attempt was made to save, not only of his drawings that he made on the walls, because he would draw on any available surface at any time. But some of those messages. And we would make a mark around it so the painter wouldn't paint that particular part of the wall. That was the inducement for the painter to paint that very part of the wall if no other part. E.B. White, another man, a dear man, a sweet man. Totally unlike Ferber in his nature. But not, I would say, a very cheerful, sunny, happy man. Many years ago, still when he was in his 40s and 50s, he was under the impression that something, as he said to me, something snapped in my mind. He said, just like a rubber band. He's no very great tactical power as he himself be as baffled as I by the arrangements of this microphone. And so his idea of what happened to him in his mind, a rubber band, was a highly technical description from his point of view. And he used to come out on his farm and put himself into a harness that he devised, hanging from the rafters of the barn, just to rest his head. Because he was convinced that his head was too heavy for the rest of his body to support. And I was always terrified of course, that he would somehow have a fainting fit or something and go and hang himself. And we thought to have committed suicide when he had done no such thing. If writers on the New Yorker are gloomy, so are, in fact, most of our artists. We call them artists and not cartoonists. That's to make them feel better. And indeed it causes them to do better work. Because if a person thinks of himself as an artist, he does do better work. But Peter Arno, who was certainly one of the most gifted of the artists that we ever had and one of the funniest, was himself so doer a person. And so disagreeable and bitter a person. That at his funeral, only one person outside the family troubled to turn up at the funeral of this very great man. Charles Adams, although his drawings are very dark and their implications are always a very strong touch of microfilaria in everything he does, never the less, he himself was capable of laughter. He would not said to be sunny. He would be said to be sardonic. But he's not in a state of profound and continuous gloom like many of his colleagues. So there are no humorists on humorous magazines. At least there's no humorist on the humorous magazine that I'm familiar with. And although I'm supposed to be speaking about magazine humor, the fact is that I know little to nothing about Mad Magazine. And I know little to nothing even about the National Lampoon with the result that you will be hearing mostly about the New Yorker magazine. Since I have been working or playing there for so long. The idea of humor on a humorous magazine puts me in mind of a principle promulgated by the Duke of Wellington who had been born in Ireland and hated the Irish. And didn't like to be reminded of it. And when he was reminded of it by somebody, he said in a fury, \"Sir, a man might be born in a stable, \"but that doesn't make him a horse.\" And now we're having all kinds of technical wonders. Something like a rubber band has improved inside something. What humorists are like is much more like what Patrick Cavanaugh, also an Irish man, the premiere poet in Ireland after Jades, said of his peasant ancestry, he said, they live in the dark cave of the unconscious. And they scream when they see the light. They scream when they see the light. And writers that I've known and artists that I have known, are in fact closet exhibitionists. They wanna show off but they wanna remain invisible. They wanna be loved. But they don't wanna be known. So they do their work secretly, underground, like moles. And the work will stand for them. But it's very treacherous activity on part of the public that reads them, or admires them, to take a chance on meeting any of them. Because it is very unlike real life to discover that the man and the work are what they would hope it will be. One, they are rarely one. My cheerful disposition totally unfitted me for a career at the New Yorker. But I didn't know it at the time. I was a person spoiled from birth. And I recommend this condition highly. From the very moment I came into the world people spoiled me. And I want this to go on happening for quite a long while. Just from one year to the next, no matter what was going wrong in the world, it always worked out right for me. I was able to go to Yale. Largely because we were suffering a national depression and my father was able to pay my full tuition. Which was sufficiently rare to lead me to New Haven. And when I went with our eldest son to speak to the dean of admissions at Yale a few years ago and the dean said to me, \"And what was your class?\" And I said, \"The class of '36.\" And he said, \"Oh my God. \"We were scraping the bottom of the barrel in that year.\" In the event I did have been reported and graduated from Yale. And then I got married the next day. My wife and I were 21 and we thought we were very grownup indeed. And off we went to Europe on our honeymoon, where as I mentioned in my New Yorker Memoirs, we were followed all over Europe by 60 members of the Yale Glee club. And it was not alone that they had liked and admired us but we were living in very posh hotel porters. And they were staying in. And they had no bathrooms in those days. And they all would come, as we were laying in bed, contently in the morning, they would come streaming through our room to take baths and showers. And in one hotel in Munich, the manager called me aside in a rage because somehow or other, to his astonishment, this young American couple practicing, he didn't know what unnatural sexual activity had succeeded in using up all the hot water in the hotel. It was in Munich too that an event took place which manages to link The Whiffenpoofs and Hitler. And I would think that you could almost define life to be so rich in its nature as to make it possible to think that the The Whiffenpoofs and Hitler in the same moment. But I recently saw a movie in New York City about Hitler. It's seven and a half hours long. It's unendurably long. And unendurably tiresome. It's a rotten movie. But in any event, the one thing that wasn't in that movie was an episode where the The Whiffenpoofs were singing in the Rons Geller in Munich. And Hitler called over my friend Meryl Nap, who was the head of The Whiffenpoofs. And congratulated him of their singing of orally and to the tables down at Morris. And can you think of Hitler heading to the tables down at Morris? In any event I always blamed Meryl since for the Second World War because he had only leap upon Hitler and strangle him with his bare hands. And it would've cost him nothing but his own life. It was that fall that I came back and began writing short stories and so ended up spending the rest of my life writing for the New Yorker. And at that time it was truly, I suppose, more nearly a humorous magazine than it is now. It was certainly founded as a humorous magazine in 1925. And at that time America had lots of humorous magazines. Life at that time was a humorous magazine, and Judge. There were maybe 10 college humor, there were 10 very popular and successful novel, magazines that were considered humorous magazines. And so it there was nothing special about Ross starting The New Yorker. Except that he didn't know what he was doing. And he kept fumbling in and about for the first year or two wondering how to make a humorous magazine. He himself was an extraordinary roughneck out of Aspen, Colorado. And a miner's son. He has reputed never to have finished a book. He never finished reading a single book in his life. But he was the occasion for many books being written. And it was also famously said that he once put a query in a galley of a piece, of one of our early pieces, having to do with Moby Dick asking the question, \"Is Moby Dick the man or the fish?\" When I went to work there he said to Shaun, then managing and present editor, Ross's assessor, 25 years ago, after Ross's death. Ross said to Shaun, Gill hasn't suffered enough. That was his simplistic view of where writing came from. Shaun and I agreed that anybody who reach the age of three had suffered enough for all practical purposes. That early New Yorker was crudely and simply funny. And the pieces were very brief. None of them was more than a page long. The writer was not a great importance of the magazine. And even the pieces which were thought to be humorous were little skittish, sketchy pieces. There was nothing of any sustained flight. And certainly nothing intellectual. And what happened over the years was that a remarkable woman, Kathryn White, came, married to E.B. White, became sort of the intellectual conscience of the magazine and she turned it from being simply a magazine full of sometimes successful and sometimes unsuccessful jokes into a magazine with some pretension to intellectual distinction and to the discovery of good fiction and good poetry in America. But the big change in the magazine and where it became a less humorous magazine than it would otherwise have been was of course the Second World War. Famously, S.N. Behrman named one of his comedies at that time, one of his plays, the last play before the war \"No Time For Comedy.\" And one felt that very strongly. And with the war came also, what we have to think of as a triumph of fact over fiction. More and more since the Second World War Americans had been eager to read factual material and much less eager to read fiction. The truth seems to be that life became so astonishing in its violence and in the unexpectedness of the events that we have lived through. Those of my generation, that no fiction could any longer hope to prove to be a successful rival to such events, for example, as Hiroshima or Auschwitz. What on earth could anybody imagine that would match in horror events of that kind. And so more and more we turned in the magazine to the writing of factual material. And less and less to works that I would think of as of the imagination. Whether this was good or bad it was a necessity too as it happened. Only poetry was able to avoid this. Was able to outwit this. And the kind of poetry that came into existence in America after the Second World War was no longer the formal poetry of before the war, but it was what is now called confessional poetry. It was the howling of individuals, it was the anguish of personal expression. Which came into poetry and has been in poetry ever since the Second World War. We hear the voice of the poet uttering something of a great moment to him. And it is not a narrative poem. It isn't a formal organization of events out there. It is something inward to outward that the poet gives us. So poetry survived and fiction, alas, has had a difficult time. At least in magazines. The same way humor in magazines has had a difficult time for the succeeding 25 years after the war. People complain to us about the shortage of humor in the magazine and they continue to do so. But we, out of necessity became a magazine of information and of opinion, and even of, I would say, morality rather than wit. Because as things darkened here at home in regard to certain major issues, like Vietnam or Watergate, or those things, the magazine felt oblige to deal with those materials. And there were very little of humor to deal with when you enter that particular arena. Over the past few years we had a few rare exceptions among the writers who've written for the magazine and of course the leading exception is that remarkable person, Woody Allen, who loves to write for the New Yorker magazine, which of course pays him very little and given how much money he's able to make in other fields, it's playing that the magazine represents something of a kind of home to him. A place that he's proud to be able to relate to. And he himself write a kind of humor which is the nearest to the kind of humor that Robert Benchley used to write. And anybody that has come along since Benchley, there's a kind of intrinsic sweetness of nature in Allen's humorous pieces in the New Yorker. There's less sweetness of nature in his movies. But in the pieces that he writes in the New Yorker there's a kind of sweetness that reflects exactly the same attitude toward life and to oneself as a writer writing about life that Benchley manifested. And I always look forward with great excitement to seeing any piece by him in the magazine. Just in the last two or three years there have been more humorous pieces being written in the magazine by young folk than have been able to be written evidently in the last 20 years. So something is happening out in the world that is making humor come back into the world. And this is happening not only in the New Yorker as a magazine and to other magazines of humor, but it's happening in the theater. Because for years in the theater we have been at very short supply of humor. And now young writers in the theater, writers in their 20s and early 30s are all writing comedies. And it's fascinating speculating why this should be. There's a new play in New York now called The Sorrows of Stephan by a young writer named Parnell. That is very funny. There's another play that just opened last week in New York called Table Settings by a young writer named James Lapine. And that too is very funny. And I suspect that what maybe happening is that we have consolidated whatever major changes in the nature of our society had been going in, whether subcutaneously or on the surface over the last 20 years. And perhaps unbeknownst to us, it has comb a kind of stabilization in our society. Which we yet haven't got the outlines of. I see this happening in all kinds of unexpected ways. I've been predicting a few years ago, certainly that marriage was a disappearing institution. It seemed to me that there were no evidence that marriage could possibly survive the attitudes that we now had developed toward each other. And yet, this year, everybody I know in New York is getting married. People who have been living together for 10 years, 15 years, have suddenly, it's like an infection. It's like some extraordinary disease that is sweeping New York City. Every day of the week there's another marriage taking place. Well, I think that perhaps this is linked, at least on a short range level with the return to comedy. If we are beginning to form a society which has an outline, that has a regularity to it, then comedy begins to emerge. Because comedy consists of an attitude, usually adverse to, but in relationship to a stable society. You get your Goldsmiths and your Sheridans. And your Congreves. There was something to make fun of in a stable society. You don't get comedians, or humorous writers, or humorous dramatists when a country is in a state of revolution. And so, this was true of Bernard Shaw as a playwright. Making his comedies out of his opposition to the status quo in England in his day. It certainly is true among Joyce, among writers. Certainly the greatest humorous novel of the 20th century, the great comic novel of our century is Ulysses. And that was a novel, which is a comedy because it is laid in the most conventional circumstances of the most provincial city imaginable. Which is Dublin. The therapy of humor is practiced inside a society that seems to begin to know what it is and what it needs. The greatest living playwright, Sam Becket is also a great, humorous writer. And he is so great that he is outside most of the society that I've been talking about. His humor is directed at the nature of the human predicament itself of the catastrophe from his point of view of being alive. He takes in the great tradition of Twain the view that life is so dreadful that only humor is possible. He rejects the tragic views as our not being worthy of, as something we're not worthy of. The cry in one of his plays, \"I can't go on, I'll go on!\" That's what he says. And we recently had in New York, his play Endgame. And nothing gives a writer greater pleasure than to quote himself. So if you'll forgive me, give me my pleasure, let me quote myself. This is on Samuel Becket's Endgame. At the Manhattan Theater Club. \"Was written well over 20 years ago, \"when Becket was a vigorous man in early middle age, \"but the play strikes a characteristically, \"valedictory note. \"And its occasional comic touches serve only \"to emphasize the bleak circumstances \"out of which they emerge. \"Becket in effect rewrites Newman's hymn \"to read, 'lead unkindly light, \"'amid the encircling gloom, \"'the night is dark and there isn't any home.' \"Hamm, the protagonist of Endgame is a sick, \"touchy, immobilized blind man, \"who keeps pleading with his servant, Clov, \"to be given his painkiller. \"Clov too was sick in body and mind. \"The bond between the two is a reiterated lack of love \"as between an estranged father and son, \"heightened by a conviction that nothing any longer exists \"outside the squalet importers they inhabit. \"Hamm is certainly old but not yet an orphan. \"In two ash bins at one side of the stage are confined \"his senile parents, Nagg and Nell, \"who cackle of a lost happiness from their impromptu tombs. \"The play begins with Hamm removing \"a blood-stained handkerchief, \"old stature from his puffy read face \"and it ends with his putting the handkerchief back. \"Among the last words he utter are, \"'You cried for night, it falls. \"'Now cry of darkness.' \"One is put in mind of the heartbreaking final pages \"of Finicken's wake. \"But Becket at once mocking the ads \"has no doubt Joyce would've done.\" Nicely put. And then of another play. A world premier of a little tiny play by Becket was given down at the La MaMa Theater in New York just at the end of the year. And it's a play that he calls \"A Piece Of Monologue.\" And I just like to quote a little of what I said about that. Because it has to do with Becket and with humor. \"Everything exist in the present, in history. \"And I ought to mention as a footnote to history \"that the world premiere of a new work \"by Samuel Becket was given at La MaMa \"in late December, with appropriate Becket-like irony, \"it's brief run ended just as the new year began. \"The first line of the work is, \"'Birth, birth was the death of him.' \"The title A Piece Of Monologue contains a pun. \"The piece not only being a portion of something \"but also the French word for play. \"The monologue was written for Becket's friend, \"the actor David Warrilow \"who recited it very slowly indeed, \"with many of partorian silence over a period of 50 minutes. \"The text would cover three or four pages. \"And an actor of higher vilosity than Mr Warrilow \"might well have given it in 15 or 20 minutes. \"Not that I consider the Warrilow method \"with Becket an unwise one. \"Especially in Becket's present phase, \"every word he sits down must appear \"to have been minted on the spot. \"And so to be eyed with uncertainty, \"like a gold coin cooling, \"are we to laugh or cry? \"The question is one that this most nomic of writers refuses \"to grant us the least tip of the tail of an answer to. \"This Irish are though to be merry \"because they commit so readily the mortal sin of despair. \"There is surely the laughter of hopelessness in hell. \"And no laughter at all in heaven. \"But in Becket's case I think he is merry \"because he is merry. \"And his plays are often misdirected \"and misunderstood because people are too quick \"to seek out the gloom in them, \"instead of the hints, however illusive of joy. \"Quickly turn away, \"where he's doubling the distance from us, \"the figure on the stage describing a figure on the stage. \"I have passed much of my life among men \"who grew morbid with age. \"And I marvel, as evidently Becket does, \"at what an appetite for living remains undiminished in them \"even as their bones turn to limestone \"and their minds to jelly. \"It is a subject no artist can fail to be drawn to \"and depict, in no matter how disguised a form.\" Well, that's a long way from the New Yorker magazine, except its importation. But it deals, I think, as directly as we can with the question of why humor exists. I think we see in Becket what a necessity it is for him in his dark view that he practices this. Always in a shorter, and shorter, and shorter form until you think silence is going to be the last work of art he commits. Plainly, as you probably been told many times before in this conference, humor, like all manifestations of art, is man's heroic attempt to outwit the unendurable fact of death. We know what we face and we cannot face it. We are not resigned. We have only two ways of outwitting death. Children and art. And of these, art is perhaps for some of us the more satisfactory. I have had the happiest life of anyone I know and I intend to leave it with resemblance of good cheer. However reluctant or angry, or disappointed I might feel. And perhaps, I keep hoping that I would be able to imitate Oscar Wilde in this. A man so profligate, both of his talent and of himself that he left two deathbed statements instead of one. You probably remember both of them. He was dying in Paris. And in a hotel room with hideous wallpaper. And he said, speaking directly to the wallpaper, \"Either you go or I go.\" And then he said at the very end, \"I'm dying as I have lived beyond my means.\" That would suit me very nicely. I shouldn't leave you altogether in the depths of the gloom of our necessary fate. And try to strike as somewhat sunnier note for, if you like, we could turn to questions and answers because I love answering questions. And when I don't know something, I improvise. I would like to just tell one anecdote, final anecdote. Which concerns the New Yorker, or our staff, or part of our staff. And it's true that as the magazine grows older, it's now 55 years old. Necessarily there are people who have written for that magazine for many years and who are dying in a quickening rate of speed. The only thing that is quickening about us is the speed of our deaths. And we have now obituaries in the magazine far too often for the magazine's own good, as far as I'm concerned. There's a wonderful obituary in the New Yorker this week, written by Shaun, our editor, who never has written anything under his own name. This is an anonymous obituary of St. Clair McKelway, who was the man who hired me all those years ago. And gave me a job at 35 dollars a week. And when he told Ross that he have done this Ross said, \"Don't play God, McKelway.\" But by that time he had played God and there I was. And McKelway, son of generations of Presbyterian ministers was always desperately infatuated with women. And he came eventually to be known as \"marry the girl McKelway.\" Because he married five or six times, always unsuccessfully. He was a manic depressive. And it was one of the wonders of how the artist is. That out of the misery of that dreadful condition he found humor. He invented art out of his own sickness, again and again. At one point, during the Second World War, in the South Pacific, he began to go mad. And his madness took the form of euphoria and joy and he felt wonderful. And he decided that Chester Nimitz, he was the head of the whole allied effort in the South Pacific, that Chester Nimitz, was a super spy and he employed the Japanese. And so McKelway wrote a letter to the defense department, to the war department in Washington, accusing Chester Nimitz of high treason. And just by good fortune, the letter reached the desk of a friend of McKelway with a lot of power. And who sent word that that man must be returned to the country at once. And he was placed in the solemn. And Nimitz, when he was apprised to this accusation founded, fortunately for McKelway, amusing rather than serious. Later in Edinburgh he wrote a book called The Edinburgh Keeper. A very witty, funny book about the time he went mad in Edinburgh. He began to read the license plates of automobiles and he could see the letters and numbers, he found a code in them. And it was a plot on the part of the Russians to kidnap The Queen. And McKelway took all of that seriously and made out of that dreadful episode a funny book. The police commissioner in New York, Francis Adams, no longer police commissioner, he was a friend of McKelway's at a club in New York. And McKelway, when he would begin to go mad would begin to take over this man's work and he would telephone Francis Adams in the middle of the night. And there was a particular murder in New York the Rubenstein murder case, the man who was murdered. They never found the murderer. And McKelway in his madness would telephone Adams saying, I've broken the Rubenstein case. Poor man. Anyway. If you read the New Yorker this week you will read that beautiful piece by Shaun on McKelway, but that isn't the reason that we should develop this new art form of obituary because it's going to become tiresome to our readers. But this is my episode, my anecdote, is about a wonderful old writer on the New Yorker named Captain Rail, who did the racetrack column. He was called Outdex Miner. He began writing for us in middle age, so he was finally retired in his old age at about 91. And he didn't know whether he was coming or going, poor man. And his work has always been edited in the magazine by an editor named Hobart Weeks. So Weeks died. And then about a year later poor Captain Rail called up from whatever rest home he was living in and said that he wanted to add a final word to his race track column that week at Christmas, wishing all his readers a merry Christmas. And the young editor at least had the wit to say, yes, of course we'll do that, Captain Rail. Although the column hadn't appeared by that time for about two or three years. Then Captain Rail said, and if you don't do that right, I'll get after my friend Hobby Weeks and make sure it's done right. And the young editor, unfortunately blurted out, \"But Captain Rail, Mr Weeks has been dead \"for over a year now.\" And there was a silence at the other end of the phone and then Captain Rails said, \"Ho ho ho.\" I think that's a splendid story. I really, truly would love to answer some questions. Has anybody got any questions? Yes?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://iastate.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1150/collection_resources/43880/file/116947#t=0.0,2575.88245"}]}]}]}
