WO: I share the same sentiment with your student. How old are you anyway? I
always thought you were in your late 20s, maybe early 30s. 

I wish to add to my list of credits to this movie the name of E.G. Marshall. How
could I have forgottten him??  He gave an absolutely masterful performance in
that film. His character's display of epistemic humility, of the willingness to
acknowledge fallibility, was a highpoint of the film for me. "No, nobody wears
eyeglasses to bed." I ask you ....
