K:
What I said, two things that were taken deadly out of context. I said
the big problem in this world is to create a cooperative world structure.
There is a paradox that we know how to regulate relations with our
enemies but we have not managed yet to create a cooperative structure
with our friends - which happens to be true. That was one quote they
played with. The other one was the legitimacy one which I put in a
totally different section and which dealt with a different subject.
G:
Yeah, well, Henry, again I don't want to quote my own article, but
I think the thing really is to let the thing simply be. I think there
should be no more talk about any visit.
K:
No, no, that's out.
G:
I think there's no need for it. And I think just play the whole thing
down and see what happens. But what I still worry about is what is
going on in this country, which again, nobody is writing about.
K:
No I think the better strategy would have been just to let it die without
an uproar.
G:]
Yeah, but now that the uproar has happened, Henry, do you still not
think that one should just forget it?
K:]
I think one should just forget it, but you know now the trouble is the
Europeans are gonna make an overture and that's gonna keep it up and
up and up. They're gonna try to rescue these declarations now.
G:]
Really?
K:
Yeah.
still
G:
Because they/think that that's what the issue is about.
K:
That's right.
G:
Who is there there, Henry, that you really do feel understands? Does
Giscard not understand what's going on?
K:
That I can't tell.
G:
I mean they speak with one voice, with the master's voice.
K:
Well, I don't know who's doing the speaking. You see, what makes us
think they're nuts is whenever I see Jobert alone he tells me he disagrees
with Pompidou.
