One place where I was recently, and I
like to say this, Alaska, at a school at Mount Edgecumbe.
It's near Sitka.
I was supposed to take part in a program.
And it's a place where Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts,
go to school.
So I was thinking about reading this poem
as part of my program.
And then I didn't, because I thought that last.
I didn't know whether that kind of allusion
would-- what kind of footnoting it might require in Alaska.
"Past the headlines, I give him this Oscar."
It's just that I didn't know, but there was someone
else there on the program.
And and this person was talking along,
and suddenly hit an emergency in communication.
She said, she wanted to identify a certain person or attitude.
And she said, in Alaska, if I say,
cool, what does that mean to you?
And one of the Indian girls waited for a long time,
and then finally she put up her hand and she said, groovy?
