"It sounds such a simple business.. 'I changed my mind.' Subject, verb, object - a clear, clean action..."

Referring to historical characters and scenes from his own life, he now thinks about the vagaries of time, beginning with a visit to the barbers on the eve of his 70th birthday. Producer Duncan Minshull.
