I think you'd better call the Secretary right away and tell him\nthat HI JOHNSON is dead.\nF--Oh, really.\nC--Because, you know, he is SO close to them that he might have to come\nback. And his having to come back might change strategies a great deal.\nF--Yeah.\nC--The news is just out and I think you'd better get it to him right\naway.\nF--I will. I will call him right now.\nC--0.

Remember.\nNow this JOHNSON thing may divert him into trying for the Senate. But\nhe and HANNEGAN have a kind of a deal on in which Hannegan told him on\nthe telephone not to deny, to have his name thrown in, and then not to\ndeny it hard, because they would work it out.
