I found a transcript <a href="http://www.rfkmemorial.org/lifevision/onthemindlessmenaceofviolence/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.

If anyone knows how this is attainable I would be most appreciative...

But then reality set in. The lobby depicted is very, very different from the real thing (although, true, I was not around in 1968). Having shot a number of things at the hotel during the last few months before the final shutdown to the outsiders, and being in possession of around 1000 photos of almost very nook and cranny, the depicted lobby of at least 1/5 of the actual space, doors and hallways are wrong, etc. I have not yet seen the film (will this weekend), but the virtual lobby is nothing but a very distant relative of the real thing (which is, alas, no more).

As a teen I took an Evelyn Wood speed-reading course in one of the hotel's conference rooms and if memory serves the lobby area was much larger than depicted in the animation.
