Ian,

I'm sure the Times will put the interview on their website but if they don't 
I'll do my best in trying to get an electronic copy for you.

>Incidentally, I visited my second Pirsig location at the weekend.

Didn't you visit more than one "Pirsig location" while in Liverpool last 
year?  I'm already giving tourists guided ZMM tours around Liverpool on a 
motorbike and sidecar.  :-)

>Uni Chicago and Uni Illinois at Chicago at Navy Pier.
>All significantly re-developed since Bob's time.

I'm sure Bob will be saddened to hear this considering the great time he had 
there...

>(Bob never mentions sailing until after his success with ZMM, but I
>wonder if he picked up his interest in Chicago. Some great sailing on
>Lake Michigan.)
>
>Interestingly, one of the the older buildings just in-land from the
>head of Navy Pier is remodelled and in use as the Chicago School of
>Psychology, rather enigmatically branded simply as "The Chicago
>School" ... leaving psychology to the imagination ...
>
>BTW must check is "The Adler Planetarium" anything to do with our
>favourite Chicago School Mortimer Adler ? Mentor of Chairman McKeon ?
>or am I getting ahead of myself here ?

Some good biographical detail/questions there Ian which I'm sure future 
historians will appreciate the answers to.  However, surely the answer to 
the last query will be found fairly quickly through Google?

Best wishes,

Anthony.
