I was a history major at Rutgers and Arno J. Mayer was an influence. Until I read the article below I didn’t know he was friendly with Herbert Marcuse.

The Mayers lived in Princeton. It was cool to start working with Carl, the “son of.” That was back in 1996, when he was among the lieutenants within Ralph Nader’s inner circle. All public interest lawyers. Greens for a while.

My relationship with Ralph was through Carl and the jazz re: Carl was because of Arno.
