(AS OPPOSED TO MILITARY POWER, FORCE, FIANANCIAL POWER, ETC). STEVEN LUKES AT NYU MIGHT BE GOOD TO TALK TO- HE WROTE A FAMOUS BOOK ON POWER IN THE 70S. BUT, DO YOU THINK THAT THIS IS TOO ACADEMIC??? F, Do you want to do a symposium/gathering on power? To work with you on this, I would want to do this in a way where we had easy communication. I don't have much of an appetite for diving in to do a lot of work, then having the direction shift or getting more information that requires having to start over. If we could have easy communication -- we could EFTA00746001 discuss and get clarity on what you want, what interests you, what type of people would be a fit, etc. and then, have good response time, feedback to pull it together, this could work well. Let me know if you think that works. To start - lees frame it up by going over what it IS and what it IS NOT... IT IS... Content Power as it relates to knowledge, social influence and formal power and ability to set rules Participants mix of academics and professionals; mostly people we know? Anyone you have in mind, in particular? IT IS NOT... Content Military power, force, financial power Participants Timeframe early September? Place NY? West Palm Beach? Little St. Jeff?
