I want to be the dispenser of the favors around here.\nB: Yes I was. I wanted to protect you. It was a great occasion for me.\nK: He was very pleased with it. Did you write on the State of the World\nthis weekend?\nB: I used some of what he said about isolationism in that connection yes.\nK: I have been dropped from the Sunday Times.\nB: It is because of the mail strike.\nK: Oh yes. You found it a good xxxxxxxxx occasion. How did you find him?\nB: He was very relaxed and at ease . He is better when he does not sit\nbehind a desk. He was totally relaxed. I have never actually been with a\nPresident that much. He is very much at ease with historic perspective.\nK: He is extra ordinary that way.\nB: He said he would see me again in 6 months time.\nK: He told me that.\nB: Muffie is rather under the weather and I am leaving for a week tomorrow\nto take her to Florida.\nK; It is rather late in her pregency isn't it.\nB; Due in April. She has been to the doctor today and he said that it was\nall right. She has been in a miserable mood and with her New England stiff\nupper lip it is really hard for her. I have cancelled my own\nHenry, what\nI am calling about is I am having a luncheon on March 13 for Azar Berlin\n(phonetic ???) and was wondering if you could come. It is on a Saturday.\nK: I think I will be in town that weekend. It is the weekend of the Gridiron\nClub and I couldn't miss that. I am the resident masochist in the White House.\nB: He is not a masochist.\nK: He does not enjoy it.\nB: And you do. You will make a note I 1 p. m. You know him don't you?"
