Hello.
Patricia.
So it apparently was carried on the Today Show in the evening news, which was good.
Great, great, great.
The portrait was.
The portrait was?
Yeah, that was what people were interested in.
And that's the one we wanted carried.
We don't want the political one carried.
I know, I know.
And Daddy, listen to this.
Tell me what you think of this idea.
I was thinking of giving the cloisonne vases that you and Molly brought from China, lending them to a museum for a month so that the general public could see them in Cambridge.
Yeah, good.
What do you think of that?
Great idea.
Do you think it's bad or good?
No, it's very good.
I was thinking of doing it even in the Harvard community.
Yeah.
Do you think that's a bad idea?
No, I'd do it.
I think it's an excellent idea.
I mean, it's just two things, but I think there's so much interest.
That's right.
I'd do it.
It's a nice group.
I think it's an excellent idea.
Very subtle.
I remember how well it went over with the Annenberg.
Yeah, very subtle.
Do it.
Do it.
Okay.
you
