Animal Appetite
“confiided Oscar Fisch.
Karma: In the long run, fair is fair. Sometimes in the short run. No sooner had I returned from Randall Carey’s than Claudia Andrews-Howe’s second husband, Oscar Fisch, phoned to insist on paying me a visit. I tried to put him off. I said I was busy. In fact, Rowdy and Kimi hadn’t eaten. Neither had I. I’d missed lunch. For once, I felt like cooking myself a real meal. Besides, I’d been skipping my prayers: Hannah Duston’s abductors had said theirs three times a day, yet ...here it was, Tuesday, and I hadn’t trained my dogs since Saturday morning. Nonetheless, in our little skirmish, Oscar Fisch won. I later learned that his specialty at the Harvard Business School was the art of negotiation.
