[Donald] Cooke looks vague on the Aspen thing but I'm still in, at least for now. Pressure is building up on the book and I'll have to go at a huge pace to justify a Sept 1 vacation, but I think I can make it...HST'', with Thompson accenting his typed initials and also writing on the front, ''Have you contacted [Harvey] Sloane?''.
