stuff together and uh...
then I had an unexpected call.
Well, what is with the suitcase?
Ben, I told you...
this is the day, we're
meeting with the bankers
-Oh, yes, yes, right, right.
-today, you know this.
-Well, I bet you every dollar
-Thank you.
in my wallet that you are the
only person in that boardroom
who's read through
all their nonsense.
I'm probably the only
one who needs to.
What do you think
of Neil Sheehan?
Oh, gosh, his coverage of Vietnam
is just absolutely marvelous. Why?
steal him from The Times?
I'm not sure we can afford him.
He, uh, he hasn't had a
piece in three months.
Oh?
You think he's onto something?
Well, I saw Abe at a
dinner party last week
and he was looking
mighty, mighty smug.
Isn't he always?
-So who was it?
-Who was what?
Your unexpected call.
Oh.
I buried the lead.
The White House.
-Haldeman rang.
-Yeah?
It seems the President
has decided
not to provide Judith
with credentials
-Oh, Jesus Christ.
-Yeah.
They said we could
send another reporter.
Oh, yeah?
-Can't believe that.
-I know.
-I know, but don't...
-Jesus.
But what?
I'm not sure I entirely
blame the President
-on this one, Dan.
-No?
Would you want Judith to cover
your daughter's wedding?
Well, my daughter's
only ten years old.
I think she burned her bridges when
she crashed Julie's reception.
-They're being punitive.
-Her pen is so sharp.
-Of course it's punitive.
-This is punitive.
Of course it's punitive.
-She did, yeah.
-Yeah.
I mean, why would
her father want Judy
to cover his
daughter's wedding?
-Oh, come on.
-I just...
Are you sure we're striking
the right tone here, Dan?
Oh, we're gonna do this again?
No, the new Style
section, sometimes the
-stiletto party coverage
-I'm handling it.
-can be a little mean.
-I'm handling it.
-I'm looking for a new editor.
-Yes.
Are you? Because I know I've
talked to you about this before.
You are losing female readership,
you know, and I think
focus more on what women--
Katharine, keep your
finger out of my eye.
You...
These breakfasts were
your idea, you know.
Ah, yes, yes, and you
are the publisher
and you are my boss and I uh...
I value the input but I-I-I heard
You know, I just think that
that we could cool it
with the White House,
maybe we could just send
somebody else, you know?
-Nope, nope, nope.
-Because it is
I'm not gonna send
another reporter.
not hard news, Ben,
it's just a wedding.
