- The coffee's strange here.
- In Barcelona?
:39:04
It's really messed me up.
:39:06
You were so condescending.
:39:08
You think I went into the Navy
because I washed out at Shearson.
:39:12
- I don't know what happened in New York.
- I didn't wash out.
:39:15
There was no disgrace.
They said I could go back.
:39:19
I dreaded 40 years stuck indoors with
two weeks to go snorkeling annually.
:39:23
A Naval officer has the rare job...
:39:24
...that deals with the physical world
all day, and it counts.
:39:28
It is not theoretical.
:39:30
You dominate the elements
in four dimensions without a slip-up...
:39:33
...or it gets very wet.
:39:36
And all that fighting for freedom,
defending democracy, shining stuff...
:39:40
...which as you know, I really buy.
:39:42

What was so fascinating?
:40:10
He was talking about the AFL-CIA
and the American labor unions.
:40:15
He described how, after World War II,
men from the American labor union...
:40:19
...the AFL-CIA were sent to Europe
to crush progressive unionism.
:40:23
How'd they do that?

:40:29
The AFL-CIA?
:40:31

:40:34
You have not heard of it?
:40:36
It's amazing the things Americans
don't know about their country.
:40:40
There's no such thing as the AFL-CIA.
:40:44
It's the AFL-CIO.
:40:46
Actually, it's the A.F. Of L.C.I.O.
