I have enlisted some professional help (an ex-ace reporter for Newsweek) to add style + genius (she is very good at this) to my reassembling – EDITING of our “interview”  – Believe me it will be GREAT, eventually, after CUTTING reworking + later elaborating
I may have to do a trip to LONDON in November December to show you all –  16″ x 20″ blow-ups of the elephants are unbelievable
