A:  I don’t know if I can judge that. Marshall always
struck me as being exceptional. Not just because
of what he was saying. I think it’s the level of the
plane of existence that he had settled in once and
for all. I range from the familial, the professional,
the chummy friends, all the way to moments of
illumination, and reflection. I see—I don’t want to
be falsely modest about it—on a fairly high level. I
have never seen Marshall step below the fairly high
level business. That was the lowest depth for him.
What I call fairly high-level of thinking, and
involvement with reality that I am experiencing—
that was the ground floor for McLuhan. He could
only see up from there. Below, he was incompetent.
