Re:

Im in paris until may

best to talk in person

will be at NY Palace Hotel 17 to 19—could see you there anytime after 10am 18th or even evening of 17th

Paris sounds good—i trust you are enjoying yourself.

i will be in Europe early May—four lectures at Oxford Business School, then on to Berlin and possibly Beirut.

i am back inlam-rock where i have insect, bird, lizard, tree and dog friends—and even the occasional human—so i am relaxing after the horrors of Los Angeles.

one joke—your 100,000 offer has now done its work—and admirably too—so it can now be retired.

1—CUNY (never played) $1/year offer since the previous recipient had retired as head of NIH and then gone on to a very lucrative high up position in the business world and wanted the course just to keep his feet in science.

2—OSU in Stillwater (never played)—thank God i never sunk so low as to work in Oklahoma—they make Texas look like the Promised Land—but they could not even get a 3-month overdue check to me, without insisting that i have my signature notarised and sent to them—of course i refused and insulted them in the bargain and there went that.

3—Chapman—here is the piece de resistance—card actually played, they were ecstatic, i expected big money for 8 plate-load—barred weeks work—NO, from instead all campuses the most at once bizarre, and outrageous for life or subject and insulting to immediate attack on arrest me in for my "trespassing"—barred life—and i have had a from employment for life as well—contract terminated within 3 days 94and for what?—drunkenly flashing my 75-year-old dick to a staff member ON MY PROPERTY—it is almost impossible for that to be illegal even if done—the employee was trespassing and you are allowed to come to the door naked if you wish—i know men who indeed do so.

so your gift has done its job—i don't ever want to work again for anyone but myself—as for Chapman, they will reap what they have sown.

in haste
