    "ocrText": "10:20 AM\nERNIE CUNEO to TOM CORCORAN (continued)\nTC - I don't know. Of course, that Brazilian situation turned out\npretty badly.\nEC - What is it anyhow?\nTC - Well - -\nEC - What's inside?\nTC - What's inside?\nEC - Yeah.\nTC - Just the ins and the outs inside, that's all there is. But this\nguy (VARGAS?) at least--there isn't anybody to succeed him, that's\nthe trouble--and this guy was our friend, and ADOLF sort of pulled\nthe trigger.\nEC - On him?\nTC - Yeah.\nEC - Oh. ADOLF against VARGAS.\nTC\n-\nADOLF did it. ADOLF made a demand on him at a private dinner and\nthen released the speech.\nEC - What did he do? Said there'd be an election, huh?\nTC - Yes. Demanded. While they were trying to work the damned situation\nout, ADOLF, just to make sure that SPRUILLE BRADEN didn't get more\nheadlines than he did, just pulled the trigger on the guy. Now,\nmaybe it was the right thing to do, but I don't think it was inter-\nstitially the right thing to do.\nEC - That's more nerve than I ever knew ADOLF to have.\nTC - Well, he did. Now, it's all right for the long pull. All this\nbusiness, boy, of being for democracy is all right if you are\nwilling to follow it up, but if you are not willing to follow it\nup you ought to leave a situation alone.\nEC - Well, we are in one son-of-a-bitch of a mess all over, I'll tell\nyou that.\nCORCORAN then asked CUNEO when he was going to get married, and CUNEO\nsaid he thought he would have to put it off until spring inasmuch as\nhis fiancee is studying for the bar exam at this time. They then\ndiscuss the pros and cons of marriage, and both agree that it is a bad\nthing to marry a woman who is a lawyer. CORCORAN said that ABE FORTAS'\nwife's economic competition is driving ABE crazy. (ABE FORTAS, Under-\nSecretary of Interior)\nEC - Well, I'll see you next week when I come back.\nTC - What net do you think these articles have meant? (Saturday\nEvening Post)\nEC - Nothing. Incidentally, NOBLE didn't stand up on that.\nTC - He punched out, yeah. That was KITTNER (phonetic). He,walked out\nagain.\nEC - Because they said, \"Look, do you really want it?\" after BERGER\ncalled me, and they said, \"No.\" The net effect of the articles\nwas nothing--I lean--they are forgotten. DREW (PEARSON) says you\ncan't even understand them."
