Deconstruction: The Martin Heidegger Walk & Talk

CUT TO:

OUTSIDE THE LECTURE HALL in a busy corridor with many people walking and talking. At the end of a long hospitality table with coffee urns, paper cups, and a tray of donuts, is RICHARD MACKSEY,  y himself for the moment. He has just picked up both a coffee cup full of coffee and a donut in the other hand. He carefully takes a bite of the donut, and then starts to walk away, slowly at first.

Just as he does,  a man of middle age, the BALTIMORE SUN REPORTER, enters the scene up along side of him, and walks beside him in stride.

As they continue walking, passing others in the hallway but not having to swerve very much, as other make room for them.

REPORTER: "Professor Macksey...[NAME], Baltimore Sun. Really enjoyed your speech. Mind if I ask you a question or two while we walk?"

In good  humor, MACKSEY, a slow chewer, indicates that he has a mouth full of food, but he doesn't mind so long as they can continue walking.

REPORTER : "Ah, of course. (grins) Well, Professor what I wanted to ask you is---could you describe, in words that the layman would understand, the general significance of this conference, specifically what it means for Johns Hopkins as a research institution, and for the City of the Baltimore?"

The reporter glances up to see that MACKSEY has lagged a step behind, because just at that very instant Macksey has taken a sip of his coffee, breaking stride a tiny bit so as not to spill

MACKSEY, catching up in stride, indicates with full mouth a second time that he appreciates the irony.

REPORTER (after chuckling): "In that case, while I let you think of an answer to my question, I'll just fill the space while we walk by telling you that I personally very much appreciate being at this conference. In my profession---well, let's say I haven't heard anyone mention Martin Heidegger in a long time...You know I actually read some Heidegger back when I was in the service? An Army chaplain in Korea gave me a copy. Can you believe it?"

The first issue of The Sun, a four-page tabloid, was printed at 21 Light Street in downtown Baltimore in the mid-1830s. A five-story structure, at the corner of Baltimore and South streets, was built in 1851. The "Iron Building", as it was called, was destroyed in the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904.
In 1906, operations were moved to Charles and Baltimore streets, where The Sun was written, published and distributed for nearly 50 years. In 1950, the operation was moved to a larger, modern plant at Calvert and Centre streets (show in photo above).
