Show side of television. Well, I did a little bit. I once had a slight interest in a TV station in Idaho which I promptly sold out of but I never was involved in the money making sides of journalism which is advertising. Let's face it. Or ownership. Or that sort of thing. L: Do you think, to a degree, you connect your interest in people and the way you've been interested in them, some of it to the socialist connection? J: I think so. Yeah, well, you know, when you--to begin with, I was brought up in a not wealthy environment. It wasn't a slum. Well, my grandmother lived in the lower East side which was a slum. I saw ourselves, I mean, family and family's family and the whole Jewish kind of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and I get into the American mainstream etc, etc. Always intrigued by books along that line. Rather than say, picturesque novels or romance this or that. I've always been much more interested in books that dealt with problems of immigrants, problems with blacks in the South. Indians out West. I don't know who we got that way. I think it's endemic. Somewhere in your roots you're part of a people that was pushed around in Czarist Russia so you try not to be, you try to help people who are pushed around here. That's about it. Finished. L: Thank you, Jack. 71 |
