Neville reads of Eugene Conrad's death, 30 January 1964

Reading this morning's paper he found the deaths of three men he knew, one well: the playwright Eugene (Gene) Conrad, whom he met in New York City in 1934 and who introduced him to his dancing partner Amarina; Conrad, who feared death more than anyone Neville knew, went to sleep at sixty-nine and did not wake.

    Reasoning Neville reads of the death 'this morning', the day of the telling (1964-01-30). Anchor A038 gives Conrad's actual death as 1964-01-28, two days earlier, fitting an obituary read that morning. The 1934 in the same sentence dates when Neville met Conrad, not the reading.

    Why pm-actor-533: pm-actor-533: 1934 is the year Neville met Conrad, not when he read of Conrad's death; wrong fact, per architect note

  • Now My Eye Sees Thee ¶21 (I read this morning’s paper…and three that I knew, one quite well; met him back in 1934 in New York City; in fact, it was he who introduced me to my dancing partner who was my dancing partner for thirteen years.)
