Bill and I shared a small apartment near a big park not far from the University of Cali-fornia at Berkeley campus where the Free Speech Movement started in 1964. I spentmost of my time working for Mal Burnstein researching,writing legal motions and briefs for a child custody case. Meanwhile,Bill explored Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco.On weekends, he took me to the places he had scouted,like a restaurant in North Beachor a vintage clothing store on Telegraph Avenue. I tried teaching him tennis, and we bothexperimented with cooking. I baked him a peach pie, something I associated with Arkan-sas,although I had yet to visit the state, and together we produced a palatable chicken curry for any and all occasions we hosted. Bill spent most of his time reading and then sharing with me his thoughts about books like To the Finland Station by Edmund Wilson.During our long walks, he often broke into song,frequently crooning one of his Elvis Presley favorites.
