Index Entry
"There might be a composite where all the parameters, all the variables, are in there. Make one composite. She did this job for several years and she found it mentally very tiring. And I think it would be awful to try to remember that you’ve seen this there and here and put all those together. She was very devoted. And she’d gotten to the point of identifying different idea increments with different kinds of names and tried to get up some kind of proper indexing. A really expert indexer would be able to cross reference them so they could be called up very importantly.
“I hoped she would be able-- when she had a tape recording of a talk I’d given some place and they wanted it transcribed to be printed someplace-- that she’d be able to say that’s paragraph number seven and this is paragraph so-and-so, and she’d be able to pull out those paragraphs and put a composite together. I thought that could be done. She never has been able to literally do that. I still think it’s actually possible. But the point is she has worked very hard and has a very large collection of work, very large and very valuable. She’s now going to stop working for me and Dale’s going to pick that up in New York.”
