That Was The Overwhelming Thing To Me,

A Country So Rich That It Can Send People To The Moon Still Has Hundreds Of Thousands Of Its Citizens Who Can't Read. That's Terribly Troubling To Me.

I Suppose I Was A Little Bit Of What Would Be Called Today A Nerd. I Didn't Have Girlfriends, And Really I Wasn't A Very Social Boy.

I Didn't Like The Competitiveness Of Big-time Journalism.
