the project

Jeffrey--Had a long discussion with Ian yesterday about how to go forward and reviewed his proposal. If you can afford it, I'm confident it will be worth it. On the scale of one to ten, with ten being present state of antipathy to you, I think it can be reduced to 3-4 in 18 months. I'm completely signed on to being part of this effort and would hope to essentially co-manage the process with Ian--I would arrange with Ian on this. I'd personally have a sense of satisfaction in both helping you out and, in addition, figuring out the process here and striking a blow for reason and sense. It's a kind of journalistic effort in reverse. Also, I think we'd enjoy working together. Delighted to discuss further. I'll be in London next week, if you are anywhere close--back in NYC on the 29th. Best, m
