At the invitation of Alan Murray (Senior Editor of Wall Street Journal) I spoke at the Wall Street Journal-sponsored CEO Council event at The Four Seasons in Georgetown. My purpose was to convince the CEOs to get involved in supporting financially and otherwise the Global AIDS Pandemic activities. They were OK, but somewhat clueless about the importance of global AIDS. In retrospect, billionaire philanthropists would be a better audience. That evening went to a reception at Bill Heseltine’s house for Geena Davis. She remembered our prior discussions during her visit to NIH. She is lovely – very tall, but lovely.
