Dear Sherwood: Don is still over in his room where he has been for a week, and I'm sneaking around like a whipped tom-cat - both of us in com- mon with many others trying to get the best of flu. So much for physical grief We hope you and Elizabeth have escaped. Lailah has sent her formal resignation to Marco, and I'm trying to make a hook-up for her in the agency business Otherwise life is running on in the same old channels.
