These tapes are about 25 years old. The only information about getting copies of the tapes was on the tapes: it says to contact the National Endowment for the Arts. I did. They hadn't the sligthest idea what I was talking about, and the tone of their letter was very much like a flame, I might add. My qualms about posting them settled down very quickly. Besides that, due to the interest these tapes sparked in me, I have gone out and bought 5 of the man's books -- and so has Mr. Seaver. [Alan Seaver: seaverw@columbia.dsu.edu - coombspapers' comment] For those of you interested, Mr. Watts passed away about 20 years ago. He died of lung Cancer.
