"January 20: Marilyn meets with Fox producer Henry T. Weinstein. Marilyn meets with the visiting Carl Sandburg, who demonstrates--holding books over their heads--a series of exercises intended to alleviate insomnia. Photographer Arnold Newman takes pictures of the meeting, during which Monroe tells the poet her troubles. "You are not what is wrong with America," he tells her. They sip champagne and talk about Abraham Lincoln. "He is so pleased to meet you. He wants to know about you and you want to know about him," Marilyn reports. Sandburg, for his part, says, "She was very good company and we did some mock playacting, some pretty good imitations." Marilyn sat at Sandburg's feet, squeezing his hand from time to time."
