FRANCIS KEPPEL (President, General Learning Corporation): I admit it is extraordinarily difficult to react to poetry with prose. I am also reminded from long connections with my Canadian neighbour that we can speak with a degree of frankness. After all, [Prime Minister] Pearson once remarked that we share 3,000 miles of unguarded remarks. I am also rather sensitive to the fact that, if I am using the right language, to interface with epigrams is to be a damn fool.
MCLUHAN: That, sir, is an epigram.
KEPPEL: That, sir, was my intention.
MCLUHAN: We got the message.
