My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946.
I wouldn't say no to other kinds of musical opportunities. I guess that it just depends on what it was or what it required me to do, and if I felt that it compromised my own soul.
I would rather do what I did than crawl in front of a ritualistic Left and lie the way those other comrades did betray my own soul.
