Oh, Lord. I have to go back and find out what stories I had.

Well, maybe just something that comes to mind.

I obviously remember the birth of a baby, because that made so much noise. I remember a marvelous industrial story which came under Science on the making of paper in Canada by Margaret Bourke-White. One of the reasons I remember it was that the pile of pictures came in, and it was about six inches high, and I thought: “Isn't that marvelous? I've got a great possibility for selecting pictures, because there are so many of them.” Well, it turned out that she did what she usually did, namely that she really only took about twelve pictures, but she took each one with a different opening, a different lighting, a different something or the other, so that great pile of a hundred or two hundred pictures all printed on beautiful thick paper in the most perfect way possible ended up by being about twenty pictures, with which you had to fill eight pages [laughter].

Oh, God, what kind of things did I do?

You were only Science Editor, according to my notes, for a couple of years, before you made Assistant General Manager, right?

Yes--

In 1939?
