There's not much volume for me either, but I think I hear this:


He'd come of age as America itself finished coming of age in the decades following the second world war.


("He'd" might actually be "He would".)


--------------------------------------------


I really can't make out much of anything at all in the clip with the word "blotches".

I'm very sorry having put the clips with that low sound.I thought they were well-recorded but I was wrong.

So I'll put them again. 

Again sorry

I will only comment on the first one, since there's a damn perception problem again.


You come of age doesn't really fit, because with that in mind I can hear a kind of stop before the k in come. So You'd come of age is better, I guess.

However, there's something that's even closer: He would come of age (this is actually what I think she says).

But I just don't understand how it is possible to hear them both, since they are so different. Even though I think "He would come of age" is the one that fits best, I can't hear the "h" at the beginning.

I think the speaker does actually say "he would", though both words are said very quickly -- which is why I initially suggested "he'd". But in the louder recording, I think there's enough there that you can't really say it's "he'd". Something in between "he'd' and "he would", perhaps? lol
