    Here's something slightly less intellectual for you to think about :-)

    (1) On the opening page of the introduction to ZMM 25th anniversary 1999
    edition, (page xi in my Vintage paperback), Pisig quite clearly refers to
    actual experience of the professor of philosophy at Chicago University "in
    1960".

    (2) In the Gale Research (1996) biography it equally clearly states ...
    Montana State College, Bozeman, instructor in English Composition, 1959-61;
    U of Illinois, Chicago, instructor in Rhetoric, 1961-62;

    In any event I cannot believe he taught only one academic year in Bozeman.
    I can believe he lasted only one full year in Chicago, and that it was the
    first half of the second year that things fell apart.

    One of these has to be wrong,unless ...

    My instinct is to believe it was indeed the summer of 61 he moved to
    Chicago.
    But, he may have had reason to visit Chicago and meet the professor in late
    1960, before he left Bozeman, as part of applying for his new post there. Or
    did he just mis-recollect the year later in 1999 ?

    Whaddya think ?
