Selected Interviews

I have grouped interviews by general topic area. Subjects are listed in alphabetical order with their relevant titles in March 1981. I have identified people here and in the text of the book by the names they used in 1981. However, if a person has a different surname today (such as a woman who has since married), I have noted that in parenthesis.
