the roman president cracked down, i had a feeling in new york they thought i was the julius caesar whene concurred goll. it was a slow process, wasn't it, the way america became involved in vietnam. and when i take a retrospective look back, the amazing thing was that the united states had never reached a point where it would indeed air condition the war. it was a war as we all know that to the american military was real estate. it really was no such thing as vietnam or vietnamese people. many of the americans remember that they were in vietnam only when the laundry was late. many, many americans never learned how to say thank you in vietnamese. and the richness of the ignorance was always portrayed when we'd sit at our hotels or wherever listening to the broadcast coming out of the white house. the president calling on the vietnamese to put aside internal bickering and coalesce to fight the common enemy and we would double up with laughter in the caravele hotel, because each appeal for immunity from washington simply portrayed a rather extraordinary ignorance on the part of the united

if you read a play, i mean, a great example i particularly like, um, in marc anthony or julius caesar, there's a great description of cleopatra on the nile. shakespeare took the english translation of plutar and rewrote it in blank verse and put it -- and it's one of the great scenes in anthony and cleopatra. now, if he did that today, you know, modern author, you know, we have this endless copyright rules getting stretched out, 75 years now. say, no, you have to get plutar's permission because, you know, it's true you improved it, you put in a blank verse, you changed some things, but, you know, basically there's so much overlap that, i'm sorry, you've got to get his permission. so then plutar says, well, you know, you're a very successful playright, i'm just a historian, an obscure greek historian, so i'm going to have to charge you for this. [laughter] so it's, it's a tremendous bonanza for lawyerses and so on. so i'm skeptical. and i particularly emphasize the fact that all, all creative writing, all academic writing, all builds on prior stuff. the more you know about literature,
