(In between those calls, Steve Blumenthal called, and I told him that Jane and I had decided not to go through with the tape deal.

I turned down his request to sign a letter of authorization. I said that I didn’t want the extra stress involved with the tape deal, that we’d dealt with our publisher for many years, and that I didn’t look forward to being in an adversarial position vis-à-vis them.
