From: "S.M. Kosslyn" To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Stanford Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 13:01:27 +0000 Right on all counts. (I've repeatedly noticed that Smith hate confrontations, and things are poisoned afterwards...) Talk soon..

If you can structure something at harvard that gives you real reasons to be away at other places, i think you win.

I don't think either the Dean or the Provost likes me all that much — especially after I told both of them what I thought of their wanting to force me out at age 72 (yes, that's what they wanted). That's ended up being an issue; I don't care about tenure, but I don't want to be thrown out on the street when I still have plenty of gas in my tank (and would have no means to make the money necessary to meet my mortgage!).

They didn't like that (it's OK to use Stanford facilities, but not OK to ask for more cash -- 10M was enough). So, we'll see. Meanwhile, I've asked Mike Smith to be able to transform the Division of Continuing Education into an experimental laboratory
