Monsarrat?

Lasker:

No.

Q:

He was with J. Walter Thompson, vice-president I think for many years.

Lasker:

Well, they'd have to go to washington.

Q:

He has a farm up there.

Lasker:

But he wouldn't go to Washington and work. He'd think about it once in a while.

Q:

He lives a couple doors from us. And then we're right in the midst of a farm qwned by a man named walker who was in advertising, has a tremendous farm on both sides of us.

Lasker:

I agree with you that these people would be marvelous, but they'd have to work in Washington and most of them have made a fortune and don't need to work.

Q:

And they're retired.

Lasker:

And they're retired. So it's frustrating, but in spite of that the death rates have gone down.
