I think we could talk to him and\nget somewhere.\nP--Well, look you and err 'course, how close are they tied\nto HOWARD?\nB--Not too much.\nP--I'm getting worried about HOWARD (Phon.).\nB--Yeah, I am too. I think some of his tactics are not too\ngood. I think he's a good tough operator.\nP--Yeah, but they're letting him run the BOARD.\nB--Yeah, that's quite true. Well, I think we ought to sit down\nwith HELLER some time. I'm perfectly willing to talk\nwith HELLER. I think he's a pretty open-minded fellow.\nP--I think we ought to talk to him too. I think that maybe you\nand\nB--No, as a matter of fact, Pritch, it was HURLEY that told me,\ner, that told HAROLD about STURGESS (Phon.).\nP--Well, we can talk to him.\nB--Yeah, and it was HELLER that told me today.\nP--Well, we can talk to both of them. Because look, I think the\nthing is this: I'm glad that they're getting moving, and\nI think that STURGESS was too much of a break; on the other\nhand, I think they are going to give the show away now.\nB--Yeah, we don't want them to run wild. The most important\nthing, of course, is to get a General Counsel that really\nknows how to move. Now in these agencies there were a\nhell of a lot of awfully good guys.\nP--Well, this GEORGE BALL (Phon.) is as good a man as I know\nanywhere.\nB--To hell, GEORGE is in town?\nP--GEORGE is here in town.\nB--Then let's go to town on that. Do you think they may want\nto wait now until \"what's his name\" comes in.\nP--Who?\nB--SYMINGTON.\nP--No, if they'll offer it to BALL, I'll undertake to clear\nit, to see SYMINGTON and get his consent.\nB--Yeah. You never met him though, did you?\nP--Who?\nB--SYMINGTON.\nP--No, but the JUDGE knows him and I'll get the JUDGE to talk\nto him.\nB--Yeah, well let's go to town on him.\nP--Yeah, well I mean really bear down on them. I mean if they\nreally get a good man in there I'll feel like going to\nbat for him, but until they do that, I just can't in good\nconscience say that STURGESS (Phon.) is altogether wrong.\nB--Well, the only thing is the guy\nP--He's a fool to tell them he leaked."
