A correspondent asked me to investigate a quotation attributed to
German-American philosopher Herbert Marcuse. Google Books shows a
snippet match in "The Listener". I am hoping someone with access to
the "The Listener" database will search for this quotation and send me
the PDF of the pertinent article together with the full metadata.

It appears that the quotation appeared in the main body of the text.
In addition, a somewhat different streamlined version of the quotation
appeared as a pull quote.

Year: 1978 (one citation claims year was 1970)
Periodical: The Listener
Article title unknown (Possibly an interview with Herbert Marcuse)
Article author unknown
Volume 99 (According to GB snippet)
Page 170 and 171 (According to GB snippet)

[Begin snippet excerpt]
For example, not every kind of trouble or problem someone has with his
girlfriend or boyfriend is necessarily due to the capitalist mode of
production.
[End snippet excerpt]
