He was my intellectual hero in college, but I only took one large lecture class with him. It was a wonderful performance, but a mass experience.

My roommate took a seminar with him, to which HB reported the dream that he's walking down a hallway lined with doors. With each successive door he opens, the face that's revealed gets uglier & uglier. Finally at the last door he realizes that the face is his own.
