Jef=rey,

Thank you so =uch for talking with me today ,and, for your help with Templeton (or anoth=r foundation ), and with Leon and Debra. My employees are anxious to=know whether they'll all have jobs in June, and so the sooner the bett=r, but we can wait for Templeton till March. I would love to have dinner w=th Leon and Debra somewhere in the Caribbean. If we can get wherever we ne=d to in a few hours, we're there.

I want you to know that I felt very 4>=A0proud to be able to tell you my operating expenses for next year-- 4=0K! Bam!. And the number we have gotten an episode of TV down to : 85!4>=A0 Bam! That is not actually the number I'll end up paying for the fir=t season, but it's attainable down the line. Your grilling helped me t= get there much faster than I would have, so thank you. .

Finally, Gertrude Stein really =oes write poems that sound just like that man's nonsense sentences= I am scheduling a little filmed seminar with some students where we=will read lines just like his, and this man who was giving a paper to you =ould be good on film. It's shallow of me to say that as I won Ht ever understand what he is really doing, and he probably doesn't w=nt to be the straight man among a bunch of literary avant gardists. <=div>

In the event, however, th=t Martin and the center might want to host and participate in this filming= I'm game to discuss how we might film the Gertrude Stein at the ping =ong table.
