Political commitment
in 20th-century literature.
:15:14
You're like New York Jewish,
left-wing, intellectual...
:15:18
Central Park West, Brandeis University,
socialist summer camps...
:15:21
and the father
with the Ben Shahn drawings...
:15:24
really strike-oriented--
:15:28
Stop me before l make
a complete imbecile of myself.
:15:30
That was wonderful! l love being reduced
to a cultural stereotype.
:15:34
Right. l'm a bigot,
but for the left.
:15:40
l have to go out there.
Say something encouraging, quickly.
:15:44

- Yeah? Do you?
:15:48
