Aus dem Vorwort zu From A Logical Point of View, Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard 1996: "Henry Aiken and I were with our wives in a Greenwich Village nightspot when I told him of the plan, and Harry Belafonte had just sung the calypso 'From a logical point of view.' Henry noted that this would do nicely as a title for the volume, and so it did." | ||
