One morning, more than thirty years ago，I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest (卑微的) to the most powerful came for breakfast.

He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast.

We cautiously began a conversation and spoke about a wide range of things. We never introduced ourselves. I was concerned that he might have no money and not be able to afford something to eat. So as I rose to go back to the counter and buy a second cup of coffee , I asked.
