After the navy, I transferred to Harvard and finished there. I was there the spring term of 1951 and I stayed through the summer term and a whole other year, so I was able to do two years in a little less than a year and a half.

My idea was to go to Vienna to study conducting and perhaps play in an orchestra first, so I thought before I got to Vienna I could do with a little training in Paris.

And then, when I left Princeton in the middle of my sophomore year, I went into the navy.

And I finished college because I thought how much it would upset my parents if I didnt.

I'd been brought up on the Upper East Side in a WASP society, which was death on crutches.

I left Princeton, but I graduated Harvard, in 1952.
