had not done it, but he gave me this and said “Hey, 
you are—you speak French. You tell me what you 
think this is worth.”

So I took it. And I must tell you that at that time I 
was really not at all cocksure about anything. So I 
would say, in fear and trembling, but I took the 
paper, I sat down and I began to read it and I 
found that there was lots of stuff in it that didn’t 
seem to jive with what I understood. With what I 
was beginning to understand, because I can’t claim 
I understood anything, really. But I pointed out 
three different areas in that paper which I didn’t 
think were very well-translated and I said so to him.
