Modern AU, I originally wrote this as a one-shot, but realized that there was more to this story. I'm working on having an update soon! Enjoy!
Quote: Turbulence is life force. It is opportunity. Let's love turbulence and use it for change. - Ramsay Clark
Booking tickets last minute was always hit and miss. Sometimes you found an amazing deal and sometimes you were compelled to utilize your seldom used credit card in order to afford it. Even as I gave the woman my card info over the phone, I knew it would take me months to pay off the charge - and that was before I calculated the interest. Ugh.
I am forced to admit (if only to myself) as the cab driver struggles to hoist my carry-on bag out of the yellow trunk that I might have taken my refusal to give the airline even more money to check an extra bag too far. I exchange the handle for a bill and mustered up something I had hoped would pass for a grateful smile, but feels more like a grimace.
I feel eyes on me as I stride through the revolving glass doors and into the airport. After experiencing an unexpected and uncomfortable upgrade on a previous flight, I guess you could say I had dressed the part. My toes were pinched, my waist cinched and my hair singed and I hated the unwanted attention. I can guess what everyone waiting to check into economy thought as I breeze up to the first-class ticket counter. After all, I have spent countless times standing in that insufferable line myself, tapping my foot and envying the people who were done at the counter in no time and onto some lounge for a complementary cocktail and whatever else came with their premier status. For today, I had paid for the privilege and thus earned their scrutiny.
After getting some reading material from a newsstand and slipping it into my personal bag, I head straight for security. Being directed to the quicker, less invasive checkpoint is just another reminder of my atypical status. My attempted beeline for the coffee cart just beyond said checkpoint more closely resembles a stroll thanks to my overstuffed roller. The stress of traveling always gave me a headache and I fish my ibuprofen out of the huge-ass tote that is serving as my second piece of baggage for this particular trip as I wait for my turn to order. I crack the seal on my newly purchased water bottle and take the pills with the reassuring knowledge that they will soon be coupled with enough caffeine to stave off the headache until I can get my hands on a complementary drink of the alcoholic variety.
I carefully choose my seat at the gate: neither too close as to be presumptuous, nor too far away that I would give all the people waiting to board another reason to dislike me beyond principal. The airline desk isn't occupied by attendants yet which means the wait will be longer than I would like, but with my back to the window overlooking the tarmac, I'm better able to observe the people that gather to await the call for boarding with me.
The call for first-class boarding pulls me away from the latest in a series of texts from various people, all of whom are checking to make sure I haven't succumbed to a panic attack and locked myself in a bathroom stall. Again.
In a group text, I suggest that they consider sharing information the next time and inform them of my imminent boarding status before promptly turning off my phone and carelessly tossing it into my bag and making my way, albeit slowly, over to the small line of people, ticket in hand.
By the time I manage to lug my suitcase down the loading bridge, the first-class cabin looks as full as it will be for this particular flight. I'm relieved to find myself in the only pair of seats without another passenger already seated. I pause in the isle as that relief turns to dread as I look more intently at the empty seat next to mine. Being slow to board means there's no one readily available to help me lift my incredibly heavy carry-on bag, they've all settled into their own seats. I'm about to express my frustration at the flight attendant's inability to offer her assistance, surely between us we could manage - when my bag is lifted with little apparent effort from my albeit light grasp and placed handily in the overhead compartment.
I'm more than ready to unleash the frustration that has been building within me since I had to book this damned first class ticket when I'm struck speechless. Without the bag obscuring his face, I'm left facing the most attractive man I've ever seen. Ever.
Something deep inside me, something I hadn't even known was there, quakes.
He's nearest thing to the embodiment of what I would imagine a Greek god to look like in real life as I have ever seen. Sun bronzed skin, cerulean eyes, longer and lighter blond hair than is particularly fashionable these days and upper body strength to boot.
And he's smiling. Shit.
Not sure if I've missed him saying something or - heaven forbid - asking me something, I settle on the safest reply and produce a small smile of my own as I slip between him and the armrest to settle into my own seat near the window. As I do, I notice as he reaches up to secure the overhead bin that his shirt (a T-shirt with the name of a restaurant that I don't recognize) rides up slightly revealing a flash of his toned stomach. Before my gaze can travel any lower, he's dropping into his seat entirely too lightly for a man his size and letting his breath in a puff.
"What did you pack in that thing? It weighs a ton."
He didn't sound mad, just curious. But his voice ... his voice has me letting out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. His tone matches his countenance: easygoing and unperturbed by his surroundings. Why am I unable to cultivate this attitude? Wait, don't answer that.
Instead of responding with the hostility that I've been told by professionals is ingrained in my personality, I manage to sound adequately contrite when I respond, "I didn't have quite enough to justify checking another bag." I feel the left side of my mouth pull down slightly turning my grimace into something that could pass for a frown, "Thanks for -" I gesture about his head and I'm relieved when his eyes leave mine to glance upwards.
The gravelly quality of his chuckle catches me off guard after the smooth tones of his voice. The sound makes me wonder what his voice would sound like in ... different circumstances. Ugh, I do not need to be thinking about that while gearing up for a flight home. Especially a flight back home.
Luckily the stewardess at the front of the plane picks up the microphone and begins the tried and true speech about plane safety and prevents this conversation - and, more importantly, this train of thought - from continuing. Once it's appropriate to stop pretending to pay attention to her, I reach down and pull out the pack of chewing gum I had bought along with my periodicals and grab myself a piece before grabbing another and holding my palm out to the man sitting to my right. It takes him a long moment before he takes the proffered stick. I heard the wrapper and I notice my hand was a bit unsteady as I reached for one of my magazines.
I don't have to look at him to know he's watching me. He probably has a confused expression on his face; it wasn't a new reaction, a lot of people don't know what to make of me when they first meet me. I don't try to be contradictory, it's just that I'm more comfortable with silent interaction and most people felt bereft without them. I begin flipping through a tabloid that I usually only flip through at the supermarket counter, indulging my love of yellow journalism while waiting for his response. I began to linger on pages for longer periods of time as the plane taxies onto the runway. The extended silence makes it harder to distract myself with celebrity gossip. Eventually I am forced to abandon all pretense of reading and shove the mag into the seat in front of me.
God, I hate this part of flying. The taking off and the landing are always the worst parts. Mid-flight I'm able to pretend it's the same thing as riding a bus or a train or something other than this death trap. Usually the passenger next to me helps by talking annoyingly throughout the horrific experience. But not today. The man sitting next to me today has the decency to keep his mouth shut. Damn it.
Closing my eyes I focus on breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth. I don't think this technique is working. Unconsciously my hands grab the armrests as I feel the plane begin to accelerate. My fingers are numb enough it takes a crucial moment for me to realize that my seat mate has managed to pry my fingers off the armrest between us and entwine our fingers. I'm momentarily startled out of my fear enough to glare over at him, only he's not looking at me. His eyes are closed like mine just were and his head is tilted back against his seat. Only his clenched jaw gives his anxiety away. That and the way his hand spasms around mine as I feel the familiar lurch of the plane leaving the ground. I look to see that his hand has pulled mine to rest on his leg. The digits in my right hand are regaining their ability to feel and I hesitate a moment before returning the pressure with a slight squeeze of my own.
Warmth emanates from that spot where my hand is trapped against his thigh and while I know that this isn't the time or the place, I can't help taking the opportunity to look him over without his knowledge. There's a light dusting of freckles across his flushed cheeks. His eyelashes are impossibly long. The ends of his hair curl ever so slightly. The unsteady movement of the Adam's apple in his thick neck might be the hottest thing I've ever seen. His chest is broad and looks to be made of solid muscle if what's peeking out under his short sleeves and his grip are anything to go by. Well, fuck me.
Looking out the window for something to do, I realize that the plane has pulled far enough away from the ground that it's almost leveled out and I was too busy checking out the guy beside me to notice. It wasn't the usual kind of distraction, but it had worked.
I just have to somehow get through this flight without doing or saying something completely embarrassing and I can go back to normal. I can go back to being my fearlessly independent self. I am about to begin the mantra that helps center me in the present (a technique that my doctor and I came up with to help handle bursts of emotions until I had time to process them fully that I find extremely effective) when I feel the hand around mine loosen. Startled by the lack of pressure, I swivel in my seat to look at him and I see understanding in his eyes. "I've always hated that part," he admits clasping my hand tightly once more before gently extricating his fingers from mine and placing each in our own laps.
By way of response I offer up a feeble smile and quiet, "Yeah, me too."
"I'm Peeta."
I look over at his proffered hand, it's not the one that moments ago I had been holding onto for dear life, but it looks just as capable of sending my mind wandering. Yup, as I clasp it in mine I know I'm in trouble. "Katniss."
He's mirrored my position and angled his body toward me. Despite myself, I want to keep talking to him.
"So, Katniss, what is important enough to get you to use this type of conveyance?"
A smile appears unbidden on my face. "My sister." By the time I've related the story about her boyfriend asking me to be there when he proposed because he knew it was a moment that Prim would want to share with me, my smile has grown into a full-fledged grin. As I try to temper it, I refocus on the man beside me I see a look of regret flicker across his face and I wonder if he has siblings. Instead of asking about it I echo his initial question.
Peeta's smile tightens and if it weren't for my rampant curiosity I would probably feel bad about asking. "I've got family stuff too, not the good kind like yours though."
"You're not from there, are you? Only it's a small town and I could swear that-"
"Oh no, I've never lived there. My parents moved there after I went off to school. Empty nesters, you know? Left their business to my oldest brother and opened a smaller chain store on main street."
I take half a second to consider the last place that showed up new on main before I blurt it out, "Mellarks?" His head hasn't finished its first nod before I continue, "That place is great! Wait," I go as far as holding my hand out in the universal stop gesture to prevent him interrupting me, "Those are your parents? Huh." This time his nod is accompanied by another rough chuckle, my disbelief followed by ready acceptance amusing him. I feel like I have some backtracking to do, so I say, "No, it's a cool place. I just didn't see that coming, you know?"
"No," it's his turn to do the stop gesture so he can catch his breath, "That's understandable. I've only been there a handful of times to help out. That opening weekend?" He says it like a question and it's my turn to nod, "I worked the back for them, so they could meet the customers and start building those relationships, you know?"
"That makes sense." There's a natural lull in the conversation and before it can become awkward I ask, "Are you going to be helping out this time? While you're in town, I mean?"
"Yeah. They're letting me try out a few new items on their customers, so it should be fun."
The look on his face is so mischievous that when he doesn't explain further I'm forced to prompt him, "So, in real life, you're some kind of chef extraordinaire?"
"Aspiring to be, yeah," he looks a little sheepish admitting it. "I work underneath some amazing chefs, but I have a long way to go. I just want to perfect each dish before presenting it to them for the restaurant menu."
"By using the unsuspecting people of my town as ginny pigs? You do know that their palettes won't be nearly as sophisticated as us city folk, right?" He nods. "Good, otherwise you'd have a revolt on your hands." We are sharing our amusement at the townspeople when a stewardess rolls by our row offering drinks.
Not a half hour ago, the prospect of a stiff drink was the only thing keeping my sanity intact, but now I worry what could happen with the man next to me if I were under the influence of altitude plus alcohol. Instead, I pour my soda bit by bit into my glass (a real glass, not the plastic variety available in coach) and find myself talking to Peeta the way I would when catching up with an old friend you haven't seen in a while. For everything I reveal, he divulges something about himself.
The ebb and flow of our conversation carries us through the flight and in no time the light dings on indicating that it's time to buckle our seat belts and prepare for landing. Peeta offers me his hand as the plane begins to shake and I take it without looking away from his eyes.
I've never dreaded landing the way I do at this moment..
All too soon, I'm watching him haul our carry-ons down from overhead and exiting the loading bridge. We make our way through the airport slowly, thanks to my overstuffed bag and his insistence that he pull it for me. I can't help but think that if he were walking me to my front door I'd be fiddling with my keys right about now.
I know that projecting confidence when in reality all my nerves prickling will help me appear calm, so I straighten my shoulders and purposely place my hand on top of his as I reach to take my bag's handle from him. Pretty soon we're standing in the middle of the concourse, facing each other and we both ignore the grumbles of the people following us at our sudden stop.
Neither of us speak, for a moment we just look at each other. I feel my resolve shake ever so slightly. I feel my chin lift and my eyes narrow and I'm back in control. "So," I pause for effect, "When I come in tomorrow morning, you should ask me for my number."
The way his shoulder relax and that smile appears tells me that I made the right choice. But I must look pleased with myself because he asks with a teasing lilt to his voice, "Tomorrow, huh?"
Instead of snapping like I usually would, I shrug and go along with it, "Hmm, I thought a pastry and a mimosa would be the perfect way to start celebrating Prim's engagement. Don't you think so?" I think I manage to sound pretty confident considering the nonexistent amount of experience I've had in these situations.
However, when I meet his eyes fully I know the uncertainty I feel has shown somehow because he's not teasing me when he says, "Seeing you tomorrow sounds perfect."

The giant political shadow of Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon was cast over a week in which the Middle East was again at the centre of the world's attention.
Few Palestinian tears were shed yesterday at the news of the illness of Ariel Sharon yet, at the same time, there was no great expectation that his demise would work in their favour.
The Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, has suffered a "significant" stroke and is unconscious in hospital, doctors said tonight.
The veteran Israeli politician Shimon Peres today announced he was leaving the Labour party he led until three weeks ago in order to give his support to Ariel Sharon.
For Israel, and Ariel Sharon in particular, it was a seismic week. Prime Minister Sharon left the rightwing Likud, the party he co-founded, triggering a general election in March and a huge shift in the political landscape.
Will the new political party formed by Ariel Sharon lead the Middle East to a final peace settlement? Ian Black counsels caution.
The Israeli military killed a Palestinian militant in a missile strike on a car in the Gaza strip yesterday as Ariel Sharon pressed ahead with his "broad and continuous" offensive in the occupied territories.
The Israeli prime minister, Ariel Sharon, today promised a wide-ranging retaliation against Palestinian militants following yesterday's suicide bombing that killed five people.
Ariel Sharon yesterday narrowly survived an attempt to force an early leadership election in the ruling Likud party, in retaliation for his demolition of Jewish settlements in Gaza, after warning that the party would be "committing political suicide".
Israeli forces yesterday emptied the last of 25 Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and West Bank earmarked for demolition, after warnings of an apocalyptic battle to end Ariel Sharon's historic pullout failed to materialise.
As Israeli forces removed residents from the last Jewish settlement still to be cleared in the Gaza Strip yesterday, Ariel Sharon sought to win back support from the Israeli right by promising continued expansion of Israel's West Bank colonies and no more unilateral pullouts.
Ariel Sharon widened the breach with his former allies among the settler leaders yesterday by accusing them of causing unnecessary suffering for political gain during the Gaza Strip pullout.

Maidan is not what it used to be. The talk in Kiev is that the square has become a darker, "different Maidan," much different than the revolutionary, democratic collective that toppled former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych three months ago. Now that Ukraine has elected a new government, Maidan occupants find themselves at odds with the new political leaders, who would like to evict them from the square so that life in Kiev can return to normal.

According to reports, the stock of Moser Baer will be in spotlight this week as Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd, a joint venture between Tata Power Company and the Delhi Government, has called for "debarring of Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Ltd for poor performance of solar projects."
Tata Power DDL in a letter to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy said that it had awarded three solar projects to Moser Baer Photo Voltaic Ltd, a unit of the Moser Baer group. "The performance of the solar plants installed by them has not been up to the industry standards," the letter says. Moser Baer, however, said, "We have reached an agreement on resolving the issue and the same is under execution."
Meanwhile, the company has called for a meeting of foreign bondholders (FCCBs) on August 31 to restructure the commercial terms of the bonds. The aggregate principal amount outstanding for FCCBs is $88,500,000 (about Rs 500 crore).

Developer filed for bankrupcy in NY but the real estate project was in Panama, Central America and is associated with the Trump brand. Trump licensed his name for the project but then got a legal desclaimer and when the developer breached contracts Trump was not held liable, but now the developer has many suits filed against it in Panama and they just filed for bankrupcy in NYC
Bankruptcies such as these are complicated matters, depending on what chapter of the BR code under which they are proceeding. Not knowing all of the facts, it may well be that a trustee or the equivalent of a liquidator may be in the process of gathering funds for distributions to creditors and coordinating with counsel in Panama. In the mix of all of this are lawsuits that the trustee may institute on behalf of creditors. It will be a long road that will require much patience.
That being said, you should retain an attorney to assist in drafting your proof of claim to make sure you're preserving whatever rights you have, as well as correctly designating your respective status as a creditor.

4 Copyright 2013 United States District Court of Oregon Historical Society Printed in the United States of America PROJECT STAFF Janice Dilg, Editor & Production Manager Jack Collins, Interviewer Brongaene M. Griffin, Transcriber Muriel Lezak, Auditor & Editor iv

6 FOREWORD The Oral History Project of the District Court of Oregon Historical Society began in Through the efforts of Judge James Burns and his wife Helen, a gathering of lawyers, judges, and historians took place at the Society s inception. The Honorable Robert F. Peckham, District Judge for the Northern District of California, discussed the Northern District Historical Society and the inspiration was born for Oregon s District Court Historical Society, the second such organization in the country. The original Board of Directors of the Society was composed of twenty-one members with bylaws including the Presiding Judge of the Court, the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, and the President and a representative of the Oregon State Bar. The original officers and directors included outstanding judges and lawyers Judge John Kilkenny, Honorary Chair, Judge James Burns, Chairman, Randall Kester, President, Manley Strayer, Vice President, Elizabeth Buehler, Treasurer, Susan Graber, Corporate Secretary, and Robert M. Christ, Executive Secretary, along with many other top names in Oregon s legal history. The Society decided to collect, study, preserve, analyze, and disseminate information concerning the history, development, character, operations, and accomplishments of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. It was therefore logical that the Oral History Project should be established to preserve the histories of the judges, law firms, and lawyers who actively practice in the Court. With the assistance of Rick Harmon and James Strassmaier, the Oregon Historical Society held seminars to educate volunteers in taking oral histories with a biographical and Court-oriented focus. The Oregon Historical Society has been most vi
7 cooperative in agreeing to maintain these histories in their permanent collection for study by scholars and other interested parties. These oral history interviews have been taken by recording devices, and are either transcribed or transcription is underway. A transcript reproduces, as faithfully as possible, the original sound recording that reflects the special value of oral history, namely its free and personal expressiveness. Most of the transcripts in the District Court Collection have been lightly edited and reviewed for clarity and accuracy by the narrators. That process continues. It is through these wonderful oral histories that the story of the Court is told. We now have recorded nearly 120 individuals since the project began. The goal is to record the individual histories of all the judges of the Court, as well as those of participating lawyers. The Court has a rich tradition reflected in the activities of the judges and lawyers of the Court. The recording has been done not only by professional historians, but also by dedicated volunteers. As one such volunteer said, The opportunity to interview someone that you always admired is truly an exciting experience. The history of the Court is being created by the men and women who have participated in its collection and activities. The Society s goals are to collect as much of that history as possible, because is it the history of the law and those who make it that constitutes the moral development of humanity. All of us who are students of the law venerate it. We are also interested in the people who make it. Judge Owen Panner February 28, 2006 vii

9 Tape One JC: This is the oral history project of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. We re going to be talking this afternoon with Sidney I. Lezak the former United States Attorney for the District of Oregon, to cover at least an earlier period of his life up until and including his appointment as United States Attorney for the District of Oregon. Sidney is that right? SL: It certainly is. It s certainly an appropriate aspiration. JC: The way we d like to proceed this afternoon is in a narrative fashion, beginning back and ending in the question: How did you get to be United States Attorney? But, that began much earlier in Chicago, Illinois. Give us some of the biographical details that take you back to Chicago before you came to Oregon. SL: At this point I don t have any problem with having anything that I say be made public. I just want to know at some point, in the event that I get on territory that might be difficult particularly in terms of anything I may have to say about people who are still living whether or not there s any control that I have over this. JC: Yes. In that event we can mark those portions of the tape and simply say that those will not be disclosed during the lives of any persons or during your life. SL: Okay. Alright. I have every confidence in the Historical Society in meeting that commitment and on that understanding I m willing to go ahead. I have nothing at the moment that I specifically can think of but something may come up; and I do have a feeling that on some stuff that may be delicate that I nonetheless would like to have the whole story out but I may not want it to be public right now. SL: Well let s see born November 8, 1924, and I assume you d like to know a little about my ancestry. Mother and father both were born in the same small city which was in, what was called the Pale of Settlement in Czarist Russia, the city is called Vasylkiv [or Vasylkov, which was how Sid s family pronounced it. MDL]. It s about 30 miles outside of the city of Kiev. I recall that they had to have a special pass to go into the city of Kiev. My parents came over at let s see, my mother was 10, came over about 1910 on the Lusitania. My father came over in 1911 and at that time he was 14 years old. There s a story or two from that era that made a difference in my life. Perhaps a digression might be worthwhile. My father told me about getting a pass about the age of eight to go in with his family to Kiev and remembers having his first ice cream cone. At about that time a group of drunks came through, in a kind of what might be called a mini pogrom, through the Jewish quarter, breaking windows and beating up on people around. He remembered running into the back of a Lezak, Tape One 1
10 butcher s shop where they were killing chickens and hiding amidst all the blood and guts and sawdust of the chickens and enjoying his ice cream. I ve always taken that as a sort of measuring point from which to measure any success that I ve had in my career and have marveled at the progress which has been possible in this country within the space of one generation. It just seemed to me a particularly poignant memory of my father s past. JC: Did your mother and father at young ages come with their parents? SL: My mother came with her parents and her younger sister and brother; I think her family came intact. My father came with his father and four or five of his brothers. My father had seven brothers and one sister [living to adulthood; his grandmother, his father s second wife, had 21 births], and I think that two brothers and one younger sister were left behind with the grandmother. They did not come over until after WWI and after the revolution. I think in the early 1920 s there was a distinct lapse and it it was indicated by different colorations of political viewpoints between the older brothers and the younger brothers. JC: Did your parents give you any explanation of their coming? SL: They came they each found their way by it was relatively hard because they had minimal amounts of money, just enough to pay their passage. I think my father came with just a few cents in his pocket, for example, when he arrived in this country. They were poor people. My mother s father was a blacksmith. My father s father was a butcher in the old country and that was the trade that all of the brothers ultimately followed. Each one ultimately had his own meat market on the south side of Chicago in the Black neighborhood. My father was no exception. JC: They came through Ellis Island? SL: Through Ellis Island, yes, and they had contacts in Gary, Indiana which, at that time, was a town that had just been founded maybe 15 years before for the steel mills. And my father s family came to Gary. My mother s family came to Chicago. One of my uncles remained in Gary and had a meat market in Gary until WWII. JC: Was there any change in the spelling of the family name of Lezak? SL: Well, the family spelling would have either been in Yiddish or Cyrillic and not in the characters that we now know and accept. But the pronunciation was, Layshock, and it might more appropriately have been LEZHAK or something like that, a softer Z. JC: Did it have any significance? 2 Lezak, Tape One
11 SL: No. The name is interesting in that it is not a name. Lezak is not readily identifiable as a Jewish name. As a matter of fact, I ve been through telephone books in Chicago and sometimes in other major cities and I ve noticed that there are a number of people who spell their names the same way but who come from other Slavic backgrounds. I noticed there are a number of people with Czechoslovak backgrounds and perhaps Polish backgrounds who have names somewhat similarly spelled. My mother s maiden name was pronounced Winer, although it s spelled W-E-I-N-E-R and that was a more typical Jewish name, but how she got that I have no way of knowing. That [name] really referred to somebody who traced their derivation to Vienna. But we re unable we haven t made much of an effort but we re unable to go back very far in family history. Obviously since a number of my father s brothers were blonde and blue-eyed I was blonde and blue eyed as a kid there s obviously been a certain amount of racial intermixture and that s not unheard of. JC: And they came to the south side of Chicago? SL: Ultimately. No, my mother s family came to the west side and settled in to what was probably close to the Jewish ghetto on the west side. My father s family came from Gary. My father was in the service at the age of 18 or 19. JC: In the American army? SL: Oh yeah, yeah. JC: First World War? SL: He was born in 1897 so by 1917 he was 20. That was it. He went in and he was an honorably discharged veteran. He didn t go overseas. However, a couple of his brothers did. One of his brothers, as a matter of fact the one who was best liked in his family, went overseas and was killed in combat for Uncle Sam. But my father had fond memories of being in the service. It was not much of a hardship. JC: What was his full name? Do you remember? SL: Well, I don t know what his Hebrew name would have been. His, the name he was given, was a short name for Emanuel and he was always called Manny. JC: And your mother? SL: My mother s name was Celia, anglicized. Her name in the Soviet Union was in Russia, because they came over, of course, before the revolution her name was Sonia, although Celia was an attractive name. There were times when I think I would have been just as happy for her to keep her own name. JC: And they met where if you recall? Lezak, Tape One 3
12 SL: They had families, they had a slight acquaintance in the same village, in the village or small city, and their families knew each other very well. When people came from the old country their primary form of association was in what was called the Verein. Verein is a Yiddish-German word meaning club or association and the Verein was the club for people from the same city. There were perhaps 60 or 70 people in the Chicago area when I was growing up who were immediately associated with people from that city and it grew to quite a substantial number as I was growing up and the people began having children. They met after they were here in one of the functions of the Verein and fell in love and got married. They would have been married in probably an Orthodox setting. I m not sure at which point, as I was growing up, my father and mother drifted away from Orthodoxy into the conservative branch of Judaism which was quite common, particularly since my mother and father moved to Hyde Park. My mother and father lived in Hyde Park almost immediately after they were married and I was born. They were actually living on 5122 S. Park Avenue, which is now the heart of the black ghetto of Chicago which is a mile west of the Hyde Park District but which was then a largely Jewish-White area. I was born at Chicago Lying-in Hospital which predated the Lying-in Hospital that was attached to the University of Chicago at a later time in what is now the black area. That was an era of changing neighborhoods. Immediately after my birth, they moved across Cottage Grove [the street that divided the black and white neighborhoods during all the time SL lived in Chicago] into the Hyde Park area. My parents moved a couple of times in Hyde Park and finally moved in 1936 when I was 11. My parents moved into the building where we remained for many, many years, and the family remained after the time that I left 5135 Ingleside. At that time [1936], in the next entrance to the same apartment building, Muriel s family lived. Muriel was the granddaughter of the owners of the apartment building. So we met. She was then eight years old and I was 11 at the time that we met. JC: What was her family name? SL: Deutsch. Her father was a furrier. Both her parents were born here. Her father was half German-Jewish decent and half Hungarian, I believe; and her mother s people came from an area, what was then Austria-Hungary, which is now Slovakia and was part of Czechoslovakia, which we visited a couple of years ago. She still has relatives in Hungary, in Budapest, Prague, and in Kosiçe. JC: And how many children were there of your parents marriage? SL: I had two younger sisters and Muriel had an older brother who is a little older than I. 4 Lezak, Tape One
13 JC: And those sisters were? SL: Iris and Rozelle. Rozelle, who was universally known as Sister, ultimately moved to San Francisco, almost became a successful dress designer, but wound up as a teacher. She s dead. She went to various schools, Lake Forest, University of Pennsylvania, other places not a very good student. Iris is the youngest sister. She s seven years younger than I. She ultimately wound up at Reed and got a degree from Reed and the Art Museum. She s been married to two fairly famous people. Her first husband was Herbert Ganz who is now at Columbia and, I noticed last year, he was the head of the American Sociological Society and is one of America s foremost urban sociologists. He came from a German immigrant family and they knew each other in Hyde Park. She divorced him just as he had completed his major opus on Levittown. He wrote the first book on Levittown. She later married Jackson MacLow by whom she had a couple of kids. Jackson is famous as an associate of John Cage. He s a musicologist and playwright and poet who selects (laughing) words on the basis of mathematical random sampling in order for the audience to involve itself as much as possible. I ve had some interesting experiences with him and my sister. We needn t go into it (laughing). She s now living as an artist in New York. JC: You used to have some of her pointillisttype works in your office as I recall. SL: Yes, yes (Laughs). She has done she moves from style to style and some of her stuff I like and some of it I detest. JC: Of course you went to grade school and high school and then what? SL: Well, there were a few unusual things. I won the amateur contest in grade school singing Short nin Bread in black face, as I remember. And also I was Vice- President of the grammar school, Charles Kozminsky, named after some coal dealer who used to sell coal at exorbitant prices to the Chicago Public School District, god knows, at what consideration (Laughs). And then I went to Hyde Park High School for three years and I actually graduated from grammar school at the age of 12. I was thought, I now think wrongly, to have been more precocious than I actually turned out to be but my mother had a good opinion of me. I was pushed ahead in school so that I was actually three semesters ahead from where I would have been and I was actually out of high school just at my 16 th birthday. I started Northwestern University in February of 1941 just after I had turned 16 and I was a little young. JC: How much Northwestern did you do before the Air Force? SL: I did one well that was Let s see Lezak, Tape One 5
14 I did, I became 18 in November of At that point I had already determined that I did not Oh, by that time I had held some jobs. I should state that I used to work in my father s meat market. I was a butcher and I used to help out in the currency exchange that my father expanded to and my father had some other minor business ventures that I didn t have very much to do with. But I had always worked from the time that I was 12, I d say. As a matter of fact, some of my most vivid memories are the fact that we used to work 14 hours on Saturdays and wake up early in the morning on Sundays and the store was open for six hours on Sundays. The fact is that I had to work and my father actually needed my presence there whereas my friends were not working. It was a source of some concern on my part and some feeling of antagonism towards my dad, which I now feel was misplaced. It probably did me more good than harm. It also meant that he had a feeling, a sense of obligation. I remember when I did go college that he felt that the fact that I d worked justified me in having my own car and that I was not put under any even though my parents were not at all well to do I was not put under any limitations about going to any school that I thought was appropriate for me to get into. I lasted at Northwestern I stayed up in Evanston for one semester, realized that wasn t what I ultimately wanted to do and that I wanted to get some work experience. I thought at that time that I was going to go into advertising or public relations and I got a couple of jobs. One of the first jobs that I got was working at Mandel Brothers, a department store in Chicago. I worked in the advertising department at Mandel Brothers until I started at the University of Chicago. And then, while I was at the University of Chicago in the summer, I took a partial course [load] and I became an advertising representative I think I was still 16 years old for the neighborhood newspaper called the Hyde Park Herald. In my 17 th year I was now at Chicago. I started Chicago in June of 42. That was because I had determined that what I really wanted to do was to become a psychiatrist, and also that I felt, I felt I hope nobody s offended that after I had gotten away from the University of Chicago [neighborhood] to Northwestern it gave me an opportunity to compare. And you know, no school is any good to the people who live in the neighborhood, and I may have neglected to mention that Hyde Park is the neighborhood of the University of Chicago. It took getting away for a year from Chicago to make me realize what a fine institution that was and that that was what I really wanted to do. And I also I didn t have any real urge to move away from home at that time. I was still 17 years old and it was cheaper and more convenient for me to commute. So I became a commuter at the University of Chicago and I was working for the Hyde Park Herald. At that time war was declared and I realized I was going to be 18 the next year. 6 Lezak, Tape One
15 I began casting about where to go. I knew that I did not want to become a grunt in the infantry and I remember applying for the Marine Corp Officers Candidate School and that I had problems with my teeth. They wanted a perfect set of teeth for reasons that I never understood. So the next thing I did was to apply for the Air Force for cadet training and I was accepted for cadet training. I was 18 in November and in February I was in Miami Beach at a hotel getting basic training and pre-cadet training. JC: Was Robert Maynard Hutchins on the scene at the University of Chicago when you were there? SL: He was very much his presence was felt but not observed. The only times I can actually recall seeing him on campus were the first day that I came to Chicago in the summer of 1942, and the day that I left in June of 49. I don t actually recall seeing him in-between. But it was very well known that he was engaged in important experiments upon us, as his students, and we enjoyed the experiment even though some of them, looking back on now, I think were atrocious. JC: Couldn t you do college in two years in those days? SL: Yeah, I did. In effect I got a two-year degree. That s why I you see I came back from the service at the age of I was still only 20 years old when I got out after having been in the service for over twoand-a-half years and I was able to get a degree in one year and then, in 1946, I entered Law School at Chicago at the age of 21. And I d actually gone to night school at Northwestern University for the one year that I worked at Mandel Brothers. I was at their downtown advertising [program], taking advertising courses and that was helpful because it made me realize that that wasn t what I wanted to do with my life. JC: We left you in Miami learning the basic SL: Well, essentially what you got when you went in was basic you see, you have the Army and the [Army] Air Force. And we were in the Army, so essentially we were getting basic training in the Army drilling and just the usual training in a somewhat unusual setting. We lived in a former whorehouse on Third and Collins Avenue and the setting was exotic. I had been accepted for pre-cadet training. I was on track to becoming a cadet. So after a month in Miami they were screening us and they sent those of us who tested well out faster. And I went to Greenville, South Carolina, Furman University, for three months which was another interesting experience my first acquaintance with the southern bible belt southern fundamentalism; and then to San Antonio Aviation Cadet Center. I remember breaking my arm there on the obstacle course but wanting Lezak, Tape One 7
16 to stick with my class so I was given special permission to stick with my class as long as I would run instead of doing the physical training that was normally done. For the first time in my life I felt that I was doing something really well physically and I actually came in third in the cross-country race. I remember being thought of as a crazy kid running around with a cast on his arm. So I was able to stick with my class and then started out in pilot training. I had put down that I wanted to be a navigator initially, but they had too many people in navigation school at the time and they were using the navigator schools for people with good aptitude who were washing out of pilot training. And sure enough I went and through a peculiar set of circumstances washed out of pilot training, which was probably just as well because I don t really think I had the coordination or the natural aptitude to be a pilot. But my scores were good enough so that, instead of being sent to gunnery school in which I would have been a noncommissioned officer, I was able to go to navigation school and wound up in San Marcos, Texas at Lyndon Baines Johnson s alma mater, San Marcos State Teachers College. By February let s see, by this time with all of the training and preflight cadet and so forth and so on it was February of 44 that I was commissioned Second Lieutenant as a navigator. I went to Oklahoma for training in bombers and after having checked out I was in England in April. I was sent to join a crew which was just being put together which was a replacement for the losses that our base it was a famous base the 305 th Bomb Group had lost half of its planes, on the Second Schweinfurt raid. Fortunately for me, that raid initiated a change in policy by virtue of which the American planes would not go unescorted deep into Germany anymore and so every raid that we flew there was a kind of a [high?]. As a matter of fact, the first couple of raids I flew were just what might be called milk runs into France. Then we began to get generally farther afield, but the Mustangs were coming in. I do remember how much I loved the P-51s [Mustangs] because they were better planes by far than the Germans were able to put up against them and they were escorting us all the way in so that most of our losses from that point on were through flak rather than fighters. Spaatz was head of the Eighth Air Force at the time. Doolittle had been initially been head of our had started as head of Doolittle had been head of the Eighth Air Force, had already gone on to excuse me. I can t remember when he left to do the Tokyo deal. But the first head of our group, who left before I got there, was Curtis LeMay. He ran for Vice President with George Wallace and wanted to bomb the Vietnamese back into the Stone Age, as I recall back in the Vietnam War. But he was gone. In any event, our crew stayed together for 22 missions and then our pilot 8 Lezak, Tape One
17 got injured being hit in the leg. The crew disbanded. The copilot previous to that suffered a mental breakdown and had to be removed from combat. I mentioned to you just before I came in that I, only yesterday, received a letter for the first time from my bombardier who is trying to get his history straightened out and is calling upon me for my recollections and he reminded me of being hit by flak in the chest. Fortunately he was wearing a flak suit and wound up in my lap. If you look very carefully a little tiny bit of a scar is still visible [on his left hand]. But nothing, no serious problems other than that. And I was able to complete my missions. Those were still in the days when you got a Distinguished Flying Cross just for staying alive and completing missions. So I wound up with a Distinguished Flying Cross and five Air Medals which doesn t signify any specific bravery but just the fact that you lived. JC: I think that Lyndon Johnson got a distinguished flag SL: He used to wear a Silver Star. JC: But you don t wear your ribbons now. SL: No, that s not my style. I m happy to tell you about it but not to wear it. JC: That flying, most of it was daylight bombardiers in Europe? SL: Yes, the Americans were doing mass daylight bombing. It was the British that were bombing at night and we were doing, allegedly, pickle barrel bombing. I know we flew six missions to Munich for example, which was maybe five of those times we bombed through clouds which meant that no matter how much we claimed to do precision bombing, in fact, we were bombing in heavily populated areas. However, we always maintained that we were at least searching out for specific military targets but the fact is, our accuracy left a lot to be desired. I ve been back to Munich several times, particularly in 1952, and saw the amount of destruction we committed and have always had mixed feelings about what we did to innocent populations, recognizing that some of it was necessary. JC: Have you come to any conclusions, as did the Strategic Air Study, about the effectiveness of the strategic bombing theory and method of the Second World War? SL: Well, I ve read some of the stuff indicating that its value to the Nazi regime was in bolstering the morale of the people, at least for a time. It had been more deleterious to our effort than the actual damage that we did. I know that the Germans were remarkable at being able to reconstruct the damage. I think, towards the end however, when we were hitting the synthetic oil refineries at a time when they were desperate for oil and when we were really getting at transportation hubs Lezak, Tape One 9
18 and so forth and so on, I think that kind of thing was more effective than the bombing of civilian populations. We participated in one mission in support of the breakout from St. Lô. There was saturation bombing of the Germans. I think that may have been of some effectiveness in helping the troops break out of that box. But it was the first time, I think, we went in at 11,000 feet; we usually went in at 25,000, 27,000, and that was the first time and only time that we went in on that kind of tactical mission rather than strategic missions. I was navigating the whole time. JC: Once you said you went to Marrakesh. SL: Oh yes, after I got through with my missions I came back and they put me in Santa Anna, California for 30 days R&R after allowing me 30 days at home. And then I became a navigation instructor at Ellington Field, Texas. Rather than those were the days before air conditioning and rather than spending a summer in Houston, Texas we re now talking about May of 1945 I volunteered to go back overseas with the Air Transport Command. Not for combat. I don t want you to think I was that much of a hero. And I found myself, as it turned out, in Marrakesh in July in 115 degree heat; but it was still more comfortable than Houston, Texas. Essentially what we were doing was going to French air bases in North Africa, and going to Naples and Marseilles picking up planes. The European theater was winding down and we wanted those planes back in the United States to be refitted and reconditioned for the Pacific theater. So we d fly either from we d fly down from Marseilles or Naples down through Africa to Monrovia in Liberia where we would then land at Ascension Island for refueling and then go on to South America. Or we would go down to Natal to Dakar, Senegal and then fly directly across, because we were flying twin-engine light bombers, B-25 s. They could make the 1900 miles across although we did have one thunderstorm that was as frightening to me as almost any experience in combat. JC: When you were flying the B-17s into Europe were you ever attacked? Were the aircraft ever attacked by fighter pilots? SL: Oh yes. We had a number of attacks but they weren t anything like the success of the attacks at the Schweinfurt level. For one thing, because the Germans were running short of planes, and the other was that we just had enormous success with the interceptions by the P-51s. Now, the interesting thing was that we were the second group we did have one very frightening thing happen and that was we were the second group to sight the jets that the German s had. We were attacked twice by the jets and we were only the second group ever to be attacked by them. And 10 Lezak, Tape One
19 they could fly rings around the P-51 s and they were frightening. Had the Germans gotten those started a year earlier there might have been a difference. JC: You must have gone to London while you were in England? SL: Every ten days. Which was again another odd memory because London was being buzz-bombed during that period of time. At 19 years old you would have thought, why would anyone go up to London when I could go up to Nottingham or Cambridge or Northampton which were relatively peaceful? But I guess we just felt that the odds of us being hit by a buzz bomb were so infinitesimal compared with the odds that we were facing almost daily in our missions that London was that was where the action was. And it was almost as though the fact that there were buzz bombs flying made it that much more attractive. It s a perversity that I still haven t come to terms with. But it teaches me something, just as we were talking about crazy things that young people do, it reminds me to be tolerant towards young people. JC: Where were you when the war was over in Europe? SL: Marseilles. VJ Day. I was picking up planes. I just stayed and because I had all these they let us out on points and VE Day was sometime in April. So it was between April and September that I was flying for the Air Transport Command. And then the minute, right after the Japanese surrendered, I had enough points because of all these you know, they measured them [points] by the number of medals and battle stars and that sort of meaningless charade. But nonetheless I was let out immediately and I was back in Chicago by late September of JC: Now I jumped. On VE Day you were in Marseilles? Did they have a celebration? SL: Oh, indeed they did. I remember it very well but I don t have to tell you everything (laughing). JC: Then you were still flying til VJ Day, which was in August? Shortly after the A-bomb. Did that have significance? SL: Oh yes indeed. I was in the states at the time. It s funny that you should mention that. I have an absolutely clear recollection about hearing about the A-bomb dropping. It came over the radio while we were in our barracks, and I know this sounds odd but my first reaction was: Why did they have to do that? Why couldn t they have demonstrated it? It was a feeling that has since been reinforced about my feelings about such matters that I have a very vivid recollection a mixed one of both glad we had it rather than them but did we have to bomb? The only thing I knew was this. I was in class, and looking back now, Lezak, Tape One 11
20 on the because I had started I m trying to remember quite where this was. I forget what the day of the chain reaction was in Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. JC: Yes, Fermi s Basketball Court Reactor. SL: Yes, that s right. But it occurs to me that I was in class that day at the University of Chicago just across the street from where this was taking place, I m not positive about that but I remember knowing that somehow there was word around campus that there were strange experiments going on and I heard that it had been that project in Chicago that had been in place. [I was in class at Chicago on the day Hiroshima was bombed. We had been ignorant of the project and, of course, that our professor, Lawrence A. Kimpton, had been its chief administrator. He could finally talk to us, and explained somewhat about the bomb. MDL] JC: And then shortly after VJ Day you were let out. Very quickly? SL: Yes. JC: And you went home! SL: Home! And I continued to live at home. I graduated from Chicago my undergraduate degree was a phony two-year Hutchins degree, Bachelor of Philosophy; as a matter of fact, sometimes confused with a PhD, as it ought not to be. And then right into law school. That was interesting. By that time, I had to make a choice as to where to go to law school. I had applied to Michigan and was accepted and decided to go to Chicago, in part, because by that time I was going with Muriel and she had transferred from Michigan. She had been accepted as an undergrad at Chicago. JC: Had she graduated from Michigan? SL: No, no. She had just gone one year. We had the same experience. We each went one year to another big time school, and decided that the educational home for us was at Chicago. So we continued living in the same apartment building and studying and romancing every night together. She was one year behind me and then she went on. During the rest of the time that I was in law school, she took two years to get her master s degree from what was called the Committee on Human Development. Essentially a psychology degree. That takes us up to So in one quick week, or in two quick weeks June 17, each of us got our degrees. I got my JD. Chicago was giving out a JD because it was, presumptively, a four-year law school. ( Two quick weeks refers to our marrying the following weekend, June 26. MDL) I actually went more than three years to law school because I only had a two-year degree but I got some additional credits [from Northwestern]. But there were some people most people 12 Lezak, Tape One

Want to cut your carbon footprint and help the environment but don't know where to start?
Want to feel empowered to make a difference?
We break down the big issues around climate change and carbon emissions into easily digestible, bite-sized chunks and guide you to find the solutions that work for you.
Carbon Footprint Workshop on Saturday, 29 July
You'll get a clear overview of what causes carbon emissions and climate change, the environmental impact and social cost, as well as insights into how individuals, governments and business are working to fix the problem (or not). You'll learn about practical eco-projects and local volunteering options. By the end of the day you'll have created your own personal, practical plan to measure and reduce your individual carbon footprint.
We've even teamed up with cool places like Stanford Uni so you can see how your carbon footprint measures up against other people around the world.
Carbon Footprint Hackathon on Saturday, 5 August
You get to think laterally and come up with ideas to tackle climate change and carbon emissions. It's a no-holds-barred innovation challenge with a human-centred design thinking approach - you'll work in teams to come up with creative ideas that you pitch to a panel of innovators ... the best one wins a prize!
Up to the minute, live case studies of the creative ways people around the world are tackling climate change will help get your creative juices flowing.
Together, the Workshop and Hackathon make up the Carbon Footprint Think Lab. They are designed to be taken together but you can sign up for just one session if you want.
Who is it for?
You don't need any background in science or the environment - this event is designed for anyone who would like to understand more and do their bit to help, and for everyone to learn together.
Come on your own or bring your own team.
Who is running it?
Ailsa Lamont from Pomegranate Global. With 25 years of experience working in more than 60 countries around the world in capacity building and economic development, and as a senior executive at global universities responsible for international education and social innovation, Ailsa combines her extensive knowledge and experience with her passion for environmental action and empowering individuals to make social change.
What you get out of it
- Enough knowledge to empower you to take action to help the environment
- Create your individual carbon footprint reduction plan
- Practise your creative problem-solving skills by working on the biggest challenge of our age
- Work in a team, and prepare and deliver a pitch (all great skills that employers love by the way, so it's especially useful for students who also get a 20% discount!)
Think Lab (Workshop + Hackathon)
- All the above, plus a great chance to meet other curious, interested and fabulous people who want to make a positive difference.
- All Think Lab participants will get an information kit with links to explanatory videos, articles and great research so you can take a deeper dive into the topic in your own time.
What to bring
Catering is not included but the venue does have a kitchen facility (no microwave) if you want to bring your own lunch, otherwise there are heaps of cafes nearby.
What to wear
Whatever you want, casual is fine.
