...YEARS AGO, I went to the now-extinct Club 47 to hear Paul Butterfield. That same year, The Cream came out with a song written by a Mississippi bluesman, Skip Pames, called "I'm So Glad." And the Cream were on their way to success. The Rolling Stones had drawn thousands of screaming kids at The Boston Garden, singing such songs as "Little Red Rooster," a song sung by the Mississippi-origined bluesman, Howlin' Wolf, many years before. The Yardbirds had cut an album with the late blues harmonica player from Mississippi, Sonny Boy Williamson. The album sold well...
Perhaps it should be noted that we do not have 45 students, of whom over half were present; we have 50, of whom less than half were present. Much of your article outlines certain "demands," which--you ambiguously state--they "entered the meeting prepared to make." I am glad to say that they were much too friendly and fair-mined to adopt such a tone; some, but by no means all, of the matters you report were brought up in the course of a full and free discussion.

...very glad they did because sooner or later enough discussion of language--it's a very queer kind of pursuit, you know, using language to discuss language--should mean improvements. What worries me about so much of these discussions is that they're not practically oriented. My own peculiar slant on language, I think, is that I regard studies in language as, for me, preludes to linguistic engineering...
...glad that you gave credit where it's due: to the Mayo Clinic for its group practice. Without its surgical and medical care, I would be long dead, left to the caprice of the medical societies of New York and Pennsylvania, with all their universities. They could take a few lessons in bedside manner from the plainsmen...
