Abstract
As often occurs when someone retires from a position, my predecessor, Jim Craig, left behind as many things as possible to ease the transition of his successor. Among the items that have waited patiently for my attention is a desk drawer filled with cassette tapes of past interviews and symposia. Journal Editor Tom Morris and I went through these tapes and initially decided to discard them because their journalistic purpose had been fulfilled. They had been used to clarify points in interviews and symposia before their publication in the Journal. Because the published version becomes the formal, public record of the event, why save the tapes?
