Heartbreaking to think of quiet young men being thrown into that when they just wanted to make loans and calculate interest. My grandfather was born in 1885. He was a banker, married with a kid by 1917. Over here that was sufficient to keep him safe. Not so, of course, where you live. So here I am, when I otherwise might not be.

The young guys who moved paper from here to there on a desk are an incalculable loss-- just not as visible a loss as the artists, and without the books about them.
