I can help get a foothold in china with my =riend Frank Wilczek, who runs an institute there on the side (or at =east runs in name only) and is immersed in their bureaucracy.. =nbsp;lmpressed by the salaries he is talking about, which surprise me.. =t is an interesting journal.. I think it has possibilities, may be a =it eclectic and could do with a raise in profile, which perhaps I could =elp with.. In any case it is worth discussing. We =an talk about this. On other matters.. working on grievance letter.. Jim =einstein says he believes I have justifiable grievance. RE ABOR, =onsensus is that I don't have a leg.. among other things, they =on't forbid the universities from having due process before =ismissal.. they just make sure it happens at least after.. I am =hecking with my niece as well. Will send you the grievance draft =oday.. am flying to Phoenix and will actually be having 2 requested =eetings on campus so I almost feel like something other than a ghost =or the moment.. I will want to submit it when there I think. =nbsp; Am =lying out at 330 local time.. will be leaving for airport at 2.. =nd mostly free before then.

I think we agree on a very considerable range of issues. My own view is that Joyce =is in his completeness, a greater writer than Nabokov, and I say this as someone who loves and cherishes Lolita. There is nothing in all of world literature to compare with the Anna Livia Plurabelle section of Finnegan's Wake -- nothing. What Joyce had that Nabokov lacked was the intimacy of his native language. Conrad lacked that intimacy, too, but =he was an completely different kind of writer, closer to Naipaul in his =method than to either Joyce or Nabokov, and so it didn't matter. I've attached to this e-mail a realistic operating budget for Inference for the next =ive years. I need those five years to make Inference pre-eminent. Inference is a 501(C)3 corporation, of which I am the CEO. It is being run on a shoestring of $750,000. I need another fully professional hands-on editor, and I've entered a line item to that effect in the budget. I cannot do everything by myself. I've slotted Lawrence into the budget as an editor-at-large, someone playing the same role as Shelly now plays. =There is no reason that he must come to Paris, or to Europe; he could work easily from whatever gloomy =exile he prefers. This is the way that I work with Shelly, and it works =very well. The other expenses in the budget are those that I know from =experience we are bound to incur. There is no evading them. To move =span style="font-style:italic" class="">Inference into a =osition of dominance, I need an annual operating budget of $2.1M. I am thus left with an annual shortfall of $1.4M, and I suspect that I will be left with this shortfall for the next five years. After that? There is no reason that Inference =ight not be spun off into another corporate format, or otherwise monetized. That remains to be done when it is appropiate to be done =80 in the future. What I have not =ncluded in this operating budget is money set aside to open an office in China. Shelly & I have the right contacts, and I have developed some independent contacts in China on my own. I would know just who to call =and just who to grease in the bureaucracy to start things in motion. I =would need $1M to do everything that would need to be done. The China project, although important, is not as important as getting rid of my operating shortfall. Let me have your thoughts, the first step, I hope, in letting me have your money.
