Description The Last Yankee: In the waiting room of a State mental institution sit two men, there to visit their wives who are both suffering from depression. I Can't Remember Anything: A gentle, poignant study of two old friends, an elderly man and woman, who live in nearby houses and often take their meals together. Both lament the passing of better days, the lack of contact with loved ones, and the loss of memory which clouds the meaningfulness of the time left to them.
