Here's something that's again Quite remarkable and showing the direction in which the country is going. You ask me, because I am going to be 84. What the world, the changes that I've seen in my life. When I was a kid, young man, graduated James Madison High School here in Brooklyn, New York. And I went my first year of college to Brooklyn College. Do you know what tuition was back then? If it wasn't, then it was a few years before it was tuition free. Oh, that shocked me. Does it shock you really? Yeah, that really shocked me. I thought you were going to say like maybe a few thousand dollars or something. (38:22–38:42)
