3 Albee lecture- Daily Kansan Thursday, March 23, 1967 in response to a question from the audience, Albee said he decided upon the title for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?" after seeing the quote scrawled on a saloon wall in 'Greenwich Village about ten years ago.

Albee announced, "We'll have a couple more questions; then we'll ALL go home." On the subject of censorship, Albee commented, "The greatest censorship which occurs is turning off the mind."
