blue eyes that look as if they don’t miss
a thing. You can see immediately the
dignified scholar Aron is today, as well
as the awkward schoolgirl she must
once have been. You can see, too, her
respect for her audience.
Getting right down to business, she
informs us that she has five different
subtopics she can discuss, and asks us
to raise our hands to vote for our first,
second, and third choice of subjects.
Then she performs, rapid-fire, an elaborate
mathematical calculation from
which she determines the three subtopics
for which we’ve collectively voted.
The crowd settles down amiably. It
doesn’t really matter which subtopics
we’ve chosen; we know that Aron is
here to talk about sensitivity, and that
she’s taking our preferences into
consideration.
