Henry, Sorry for my lengthy turnaround in response, I can only ascribe it to a type of stagefright occurring communicating with one of the intellectual heavyweights of our time. <<VBG>> I really enjoyed our market discussions when you were holding down the Long-Dated Desk at Citi, late into the dinner hour in NY.....Selfishly Laboring and listening to the Foaming-at-the Mouth Opinions of the Citi Australia crew...... non-stop ranting at how OZ was going to fall into the Ocean and would vanish or at best be placed on a tow-bar and back dragged to the conquering Japanese. It was a classic deal of Being Bearish at the Bottom.... Hell you must have thought the Ozzies had written the script for permanent midnight. Bill Sarubi got himself a good paying gig managing money for the Govt' of Abu Dhabi in 1989, he had a 3 year contract, which was renewed and he is still rolling last I heard.. I don't remember if you met Bob Colby, Arch Crawford, Mike Jenkins amd Tom Wallace..I know we used to a have interesting get togethers. Steve Hains (Citi) and Neuberger-Berman-- he introduced me to you...ended up spending a fair bit of time in NY.....his Investment bank had the most humorous dealing with Goldman Re the Debt Vs Equity of the Gutted Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel...remind me to tell you that deal...ho ho ho.....kind of like the old story of the country ant and the city grasshopper. The NY Crowd was pretty wild..... Working for AIG now?....throwing those nuclear derive's around. Your a good man... I have more on Robert Anton Wilson for A Later Date. Very Best Regards, John
