[edit] Pronunciation

_ _ How is his name pronounced? Krogh's extraction is Norwegian. In introducing her collegue's interview with him, Terry Gross more than once pronounces his name to rhyme with "rogue", in contrast with Hugh, Pugh, Vaughan, Yarbrough, Hough, High, Waugh, Leigh, Haight, Straight, Raleigh, among the 10K most common American names as of 1990. (On the other hand, Brigham, notable for its contrast to High, is one of many -augh- and -ough- counterexamples, probably mostly Scottish; BTW "Krogh" is # 22910, and seems likely to be Scandinavian: usually Danish or Norwegian.)
_ _ He pronounced it in [[1]], but no sign of access to the video. 3-sec. clip of him speaking to Commonwealth Club doesn't even include intro.

I heard what must be the same interview today, and this time heard the interviewer Dave Davies (reporter) himself pronounce it like "Krogue". These instances bookend the interview itself, and it's not clear they were recorded face to face, tho Fresh Air would deserve blame for creating that impression, if Davies didn't do his homework on the pronunciation. I'm lmost certain the previous audio feed was edited differently, even w/o hearing them side by side.

[edit] Law School

Is the language "he went to law school in 1968." supposed to mean that he graduated law school in 1968? He couldn't have entered law school in 1968, graduated and went work for Nixon also in 1968. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nightkey (talk • contribs) 19:13, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
