He seems very interested inyour relationship with the news media. I told him you were a hell of a guy:) One oddity: he said hehad been told that that quote from Trump about you in the original NY Mag story had beenmanufactured. ie, that I did not actually speak to Donald. Which is bull shit of course. I am surethat is what Trump told him as they have been getting a lot of questions from reporters about you.He actually seemed to be a sensible guy/solid reporter -- just from the few conversations I had withhim. I think he is close to finishing up.Did you ever speak to him?Landon Thomas, Jr.Financial ReporterNew York Timeshttp://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/t/landon jr thomas/index.htmlplease noteThe information contained in this communication isconfidential, may be attorney-client privileged, mayconstitute inside information, and is intended only forthe use of the addressee.
