I can remember a seminar in the library with Mac Keddy in 1972. Mac would light up one of his Parliament cigarettes, I'd light up a Marlboro, and we'd get underway. It didn't seem to bother the others in that small group. If it did, nobody spoke up. Smokin’ in the classroom…not smokin’ in the boys’ room.
