Dear Jesh:

I must say that the highlight of the conference on
Organization Theory was meeting you. I was only sorry that
we didn't have longer to chat.

On the plane back East, I had a chance to look at the
materials you gave me more carefully. That only re-confirmed
my initial impression. Now I'm just waiting for someone to
start . haranguing me with alarmist arguments.

As promised, I'm enclosing for you a copy of my book.
As you'll see, it picks right up from our conversation about
the missile crisis. I'd be most interested in any reactions
you have to that part of my argument, or to the more general
argument about nuclear strategy or indeed about the study of
foreign policy.

Looking forward to picking-up our conversation again soon.

Yours sincerely,

ite. Abs
