TranscriptPen/Faulkner
Washington Washington. Stretch limousine picked me up at 10 for CBS TV station & filming for Nightwatch, a late-night show. Taping delayed until about 11.20, but I still made it to the Senate Dining Room (LBJ’s former office) in time to join the others for lunch with David Pryor & various other senators; including Kennedy, Hollings, Gore, Lott, & about a dozen more. Went from there to Supreme Court; heard a civil case argued, & then we were briefed by Justices Kennedy & Scalia. Rest in room until 6.30 – time for the Pen-Faulkner banquet at Folger Library. Stage presentation of writers, each of whom spoke in three minutes – except me, who spoke for 1½ & did not “read” from his own work. Dinner. Back to hotel by midnight. |
