This is an excerpt from a previous conversation that I had with Professor Stephen Wright but was unreleased at the time.

We felt it appropriate that it should be released at a time if I ever spoke to Professor Wendy Carlin. This day is coming and now this part of my conversation with Stephen can be released.
