"While I ws teaching at MIT, Aldous Huxley joined us for a semester as distinguished visiting professor in humanities. Needless ot say, he was in demand all over New England, and my regard for him was so great that I volunteered to be his social secretary, driving him to and from his engagements because I wanted nothing so much that semester as to spend as much time in his presence as I could manage.
