Had you seen KHaC before?

Yes, but not since my family lived in Arlington ( ≈ nineteen years). I suspect it was my introduction to Alec Guinness, not that I would have been able to recognize him at that age from eight different characters. It holds up incredibly well—I know there are recent films with an equally devil-may-care attitude toward the sympathy of their protagonists, but I'll have to think of them, and I don't think the ending could be improved in any way.

You were one of the few people I met at Yale who spoke my language. This is not unrelated to your habit of conversing macaronically in German.
