101601 - I called back and spoke at length.
101602 -
101603 - Susan said the management program at Syracuse has financial difficul-
101604 - ty; she indicated this is occurring at a lot of universities.  I
101605 - mentioned my experience at Stanford on this point.  Evidently Dave
101606 - Wilemon is unable to focus on my work due to personal matters (also
101607 - mentioned by Elizabeth at ref SDS 13 line 74).

101610 - Susan indicated the articles (ref OF 1 line 10 and ref OF 2 line 10)
101611 - present interesting ideas about "thinking," writing, and management.
101612 - She suggests reflecting greater awareness of other material by reading
101613 - selected works and citing them in a broader bibliography.  Susan will
101614 - write a letter in a week or so, to set out her thoughts on this and to
101615 - list the people she thinks I should read. She understands the book I
101616 - have in mind would deal with anthropology, religion, biology, psych-
101617 - ology, as discussed at ref SDS 3 line 159.
