Highlight

That was fun- definitely the highlight of a day that was not without other interesting moments
Don't know which was better-- the wholly unexpected surprise reminder (by a prime minister) of my
boyfriend from 1976( who was in high school, who lived with his doting parents), or, getting creamed on my
producer's budget but then offered the opportunity to profess poetry for production funds . There may be
someone as good in New York, but i'll never tell you and you really have a heck of a seminar table there.
When do we do Whitman's "Song of Myself" 1-15 Who else is reading with us? I'm ready.
A few other follow ups:
David and Brigid point out that reality tv doesn't cost anything because it is, as it sounds, very low budget.
No writing , no special expertise or knowledge or research , no archival footage , no copyright clearance , no
actors, no travel beyond the one location, certainly no clinton or woody allen or justice elena kagan or david
brooks or Lena Dunham or even Professor New. That said , I think If were hiring the crew id do it for less --
probably 1, 250,000 all in. But I haven't won 10 Emmys and David has . That has value too. As does Wgbh.
But I'll be more prepared for the next conversation and want to be much more prepared for templeton, so
thank you.
I really liked Michael. I would like to send him some stuff, but in googling him I noticed that we have the
same birthday! May I have his email?
You are in! Yeay! Lets see what this may mean? I'll improve my numbers and you'll improve your deep
reading ?

clinton woody kagan, do not add one penny to budget

Jeffrey, if you are conceding any bit of the other things , with all due respect, that's exciting, as its new for me
to be right about anything in the area of budgets.
As it happens,and as of today, there is huge dissatisfaction in public television world with the lower budget
Clinton footage versus the Herbie Hancock footage. David g was there for Herbie and not for Clinton. I can see
the difference .the pilot was made for 100, 000, with savings on the Clinton but it does show

I only want you to succeed.. I suggest that as this is charity, the numbers will be scrutinized more
heavily. ( could have gone for food for homeless etc ) please send me the neh proposal that you mentioned. I
assume there is a full budget.

I know, and I'm immensely grateful
. I would like to send you not only the NEH , but a harvard budget for the Ed school initiative with EdLabs.
This may take a few days. But I'm on it
Thank you Jeffrey
