It subsequently developed that he was too busy to take on the burdens of the chairmanship of the conference but suggested McDavid, whom I knew, as I had engaged him in the early 1960s as a consultant to the Random House Dictionary . McDavid agreed to become involved, came to New York, and brought Audrey Duckert (of Amherst, Massachusetts) into the picture as his associate.
