{Dialogue}[13th November 1969]

[Redbook1:93][19691113:1630]{Dialogue}[13th November 1969]

Thursday 13th November 1969. 4.30p.m.

            I often find that in a conversation a chance remark will send my mind off at a tangent to an important conclusion away from the mainstream of discussion.  By the time I am ready to give my view, however, the discussion has moved on in its butterfly fashion, away from the matter from which my private train of thought originated, and I know that any attempt to return would be resented.  How much of value, not mine but other people's, maybe lost this way?
