[Email Exchange between Bruce Weniger and David Baltimore]

coriciliatory while acting so stridently leaves me unsure and
confused about your desires.
I was quite surprised to discover that you have scheduled me
for half an hour of your phone conference. I had thought that I
was going to "participate" in the conference but I did not know
that meant talking for half and hour. Maybe that's not what you
expect. I would hope that I could have the advantage of the
perspective of your committee and that we could have an
interchange that might be mutually beneficial. Please let me
know what you are thinking and planning.
Sincerely,
David Baltimore
