JE,

Need advice. Having a meeting Wednesday with someone who wants to do a =erger with Brockman, Inc. - a very serious player, and larger than us. =t would make very big news in the publishing business. I have no idea =ow to begin to think about it. No interest in being acquired (and =aving a job), or pulling the rug out from Max after his one month as =EO, but there are advantages to having more strength in the =arketplace.

(This is confidential - not to Max and KM but to my staff - so I'm using =y private emai

JB
