When Adorno came to America he was set up with a job at the Office of Radio Research, where he wrote primarily on music. The following, delightful description, is from a letter written by his colleague Paul Lazerfield: "He looks exactly as you would imagine a very absent-minded German professor, and he behaves so foreign that I feel like a member of the Mayflower society. Whey you start to talk with him, however, he has an enormous amount of interesting ideas. As every newcomer, he tried to reform everything, but if you listen to him, most of what he says makes sense" -Quoted in Martin Jay's The Dialectical Imagination, p. 189

(Does a section like this seem like a good idea to anyone? I found I couldn't make sense of some sentences without hitting the dictionary, and contrary to the introductory statement of a previous version of this page, I realized I did assmue others might find a section like this helpful - otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. I hope that assumption didn't offend...)
