Haig - page 2
H: Listen, I hald some long-haired guy come in here today. He was the creepiest
looking fellow I've even seen. He's doing a piece on you.
K: What's his name ?
H: Berlin.
K: Oh, yes.
H: My God, the questions he asked.
K: Like what?
H: I don't know whether he's out to screw you or not.
K: I'm sure he is. He's NY Post. Like what?
H: You were using devious methods in the bureaucracy. You were paranoiac .
Whether you had scars of your youth. He just went on and on and on. I think I
handled him alright.
K: What did you say, no I have scars of my adulthood.
H: I told him you once told me acute paranoia in Washington would be diagnosed
as excess complacency. I said I agreed with that.
K: So, he'll say we were both paranoid.
H: Yes.
K: That's all you're going to achieve with that sort of a smark alecky remark.
H: I think I went through your organizational stuff. He wanted me to say you are
an organizational disastor. I said that's anything but true. I said it precisely
the opposite. I said he doesn't like to deal those things. He'd rather deal with
substance. But when he wants to do it and has to do it, he does it very well.
I said I don't know anybody who does it any better.
K: After all, you know, we've kep the foreign policy and defense policy going
for five years in a disastrous situation.
H: That's right.
K: I don't know what the test is.
H: He apparently talked to everyone of our ever defective staff group over there.
The earlier boys.
