I was about to drop out of graduate school, disgusted with the nonsense. John Robinson came to Berkeley. Dale Jorgensen, the most obnoxious teacher I had ever encountered, rose to ask Robinson an impertinent question. She told him, "Sit down young man. I am taking questions from the faculty now."
This performance greatly encouraged most of the students. I asked her if I could talk to her. She was saying at Stanford. My former wife and I and a former roommate went down to Stanford and drank beer with her for a couple hours. It was during her Maoist days. That afternoon renewed my enthusiasm for my dissertation. What a lady! On Sat, Aug 05, 2006 at 10:55:58AM -0400, Doug Henwood wrote: > Nice.
