...should credit me with some incidental part in the American recognition of his work. But full credit for the earliest sponsorship of his English writing should go to his first publisher in this country, James Laughlin IV, of New Directions. While enjoying the vogue that culminates in your story, let us not forget the special insight and the generous risks that this small firm has exercised on behalf of unrecognized talent...
...Let's face it-one of the first rules in life that a child learns is that you don't take something that isn't yours. This property was paid for and owned by someone else. What the hippies did with the property was a very gentle thing, but it still was not theirs. I would like to take possession of the Wilshire area to develop into a lovely park but it's not mine...
...most tedious identity crises ever recorded. Apparently the book is out to capture what the Harvard experience feels like rather than what happened here last year, but the verbal talent to bring off such an enterprise is nowhere to be found in Three Thirty Three.

In 1967, Paik (pronounced Pike) and Moorman established themselves as a sort of cerebral John Lennon-Yoko Ono act when Charlotte, topless, played Paik's composition Opera Sextronique. Again last week, Charlotte let her concert gown fall to her waist, but this time her breasts were covered by two 3-in. TV sets. Explained Paik with a broad smile: "By using TV as a bra, the most intimate belonging of a human being, we try to humanize the technology...
