TranscriptWOLF: JOHNSON
Ric Burns called back to say he’s sending all nine episodes of The War to Loomis at Random, as I requested. Later I called Bob & told him they’d be coming. He said he was glad, & had been meaning to call me because he has been hearing so many good things about the show & my part in it. He also assured me that Random & Vintage will both get behind my 3-vol. set & push it strongly when the program airs in September. Walked 1 ½ miles in 26 mins.; played Ravel two-piano pieces. Wolf River; Bob Johnson host, book was A. W. Crosby’s America’s Forgotten Pandemic, an account of the influenza worldwide disaster in 1918-19. Indigestion in the night, the result of eating too much fried catfish too fast, & drinking bad white wine. |
