In which city does Mr. Hood work?
Interviewer: So, Mr. Hood, you work in the American Embassy in London, is that correct?
Dell J. Hood: That’s correct, yes.
Interviewer: What do you do there?
Dell J. Hood: I’m an Assistant Cultural Officer there, and my specific responsibilities are bringing a small number of American speakers over to the U. K, to talk to various audiences here, er, I also work with the people who teach American Studies in the British educational system at secondary level and universities.
Interviewer: What do you think are the advantages and, and... disadvantages of living in the U. S. A?
Dell J. Hood: I think one advantage is perhaps a certain casualness, and a more relaxed attitude in the U. S....urn... things are not quite as formal as what I’ve seen here in England...um...people are perhaps a little more spontaneous, er, in ...in just getting up and doing things, getting up and going someplace in the U. S...um...a disadvantage..., um...I think our...our fascination with big ness and with newness leads us sometimes to be, er, wasteful of, er, re sources. Er, we build very big cars that use a lot of gasoline, we build big roads and big parking lots to park them in, and, urn, I think we could be a little more conscious of, um, of the resources that we’re using when we’re doing that sort of thing.
Interviewer: What do you think the biggest threat to world peace?
Dell J. Hood: Well, I guess one would have to say that the, um, the tremendous build-up of the weapon of war is a major threat to world peace...
Interviewer: Do you think...do you think we’ll have a world war at the end of the century? Is that a strong possibility?
Dell J. Hood: I don’t think so, no, urn, er I guess I could be called optimistic but I think that, um, people throughout most parts of the world are just too much aware of what a world war would mean, and I think, um, our leaders are now um wise enough, they...they have, er, good enough adviser, and they get enough input from public opinion so that I think we could avoid whatever final steps would lead us to, er, a world war. So I don’t think it will happen.
