not wish to speak with Krivit." Yes he is if he agreed to it - even
if Steve lived in the same town. That flights, travel, expense and a
lot of time were involved as well makes it doubly so. It is very
rude to behave otherwise.
If anyone in this world has the right to be rude it would be Martin
Fleischmann. He is also good at being rude. He's had lots of practice.
Look Nick, I was with him a few days ago for a couple of hours. He is
old and frail and tired at times. Someone in that condition should
turn down an appointment any time he does not feel up to it. I don't
care if the appointment is with the Queen of Sheeba and it was made
in an another life a thousand years ago. It is asinine for you to
make a fuss about it.
Krivit was in Europe for the conference in any case.
If she was well enough to do interviews in one continent, travel to
another then fly on to a conference, all within a few days there is
no way in hell she could be reasonably well, extremely ill and
reasonably well again so fast.
Apparently you have not lived with Parkinson's disease. My mother and
others I know died from it. I assure you the patient can be well in
the morning and comatose in the afternoon.
It is clear to me, who was there, that Freilino was controlling the situation.
No one ever controls Martin's situation but Martin.
This conversation is beyond the pale. You and Steve should put a sock
in it and stop making yourselves look like ninnies.
