"Almost 60 years ago, professor Frederick Sontag opened a door I could not have opened on my own. Perhaps it saved my life. On a visit to Claremont, California 30 years later, I proposed interviewing him. He graciously accepted.

He says, 'America has gone through odysseys, through trials of tribulation and wandering, and I think we're onto one of those times again.'"
