| 1 Nov 1994 | Diary: P and Duke spend several hours discussing politics, 'An interesting character.

| 5 Dec 1994 | Diary: P speaks to Duke who had received a 'feisty' reply from Ed Novak agreeing to act for him, 'and advising Duke to live a good life for ten or twenty years outside politics in the hope that people will forget Duke was once in the Klan. I suggest that he reply to Novak, tongue in cheek, that he will go one better than leading a mere good life, he'll become a literary agent and lead a holy life. I suggested he now contact Aleta Daley in New York.' P speaks with Duke later, who had been contacted by Aleta Daley; 'His self esteem is restored. I ask about access to his mailing list. He says it is 115,000, of which 45,000 are high grade; however he laughed off my suggestion that we trade the list for my free work on his MS [memoirs]'. |
