Say, uh, I did talk to Connolly on the phone, and she said, her voice sounds terrible.

She said, your mood doesn't move through the stomach.

But she didn't get doctors that, uh, that she didn't sound good either.

But he said he had, he said he had about 94 laps to stick to the stomach.

So, you know something?

Uh, I, I'm convinced that

Underneath that very vigorous exterior is a, is a relatively, uh, visibly volatile, uh, down addiction.

Because when he does, he goes so hard that he doesn't take a stop.

That's kind of what happens.

He drops, he drops back.

And we've seen that in the, uh, uh, well, and in the cycles.

You know, he, he, he goes, and then he's the kind of guy that apparently goes at full speed while he's going.

And he burns himself out fairly quickly.

And he apparently knows it, to a degree at least, because he goes away and he pulls it down, pulls out.

And that maybe is part of why Nellie's got the pressure on him to get out of here.

Is that what it is?

I think that's part of it.

Because she needs attorney's help.

I just kind of wondered.

She was at the opening of something the other day and

So the press is just boring in on this kind of stuff, but she said something about, apparently they had been thinking about buying a house, and now they are, or someone asked her about that.

She said, no, that she comes to look at houses, but she didn't buy any.

Their real home is Texas, so they probably won't buy any.

And then the thing Mitchell was talking about yesterday, track down, Conley at some point made a crack to Timish.

Of hell, there isn't even a good Mexican restaurant in this town.

I'd like to get back to Texas where you can enjoy life.

And tell me this.

What is the relationship?

Is that not working out too well?

You know, he is such a gregarious fellow, you know, and likes friends and so forth and so on.

I don't know what the hell, but maybe there's nobody... People in the county sure like that.

I mean, I don't think there's any... That is the...

He may like the social world kind of stuff, too.

I think he probably does.

And our people, most of the county people don't aren't too much

Well, they go to the big things, you know, the charity falls and stuff like that that you have to go to.

But they don't.

I don't think it is either.

He is inadequately staffed.

That's a curious thing.

He's always talking about his family.

Well, and as Erland was saying, the people that are his family, his own men, are outstandingly good people.

In other words, he has the ability to pick good people and to recruit good people, apparently, but he hasn't very many of them.

And instead of going out and getting his own men as upper secretary and all that sort of thing, he stayed with Walker and Volker and all those guys, which is kind of strange.

It loses its immunity.

And you raise it up in your paragraph.

I think the stories we're seeing are stories that are picked up from back when he was thinking about pulling out.

I know that Timmy Schmuck was.

I guess he built that up.

He's a lot more visible and vulnerable in there.

Yeah, and that's a problem.

And he knows it.

He's very much aware of it.

He came in yesterday.

He's got his cover story, which is a bad thing.

Well, he's very concerned about it.

He told me he was.

Understand?

I mean, he is.

He told me.

Did he tell you he started to turn it off with all the society?

And the news we cover, there's nothing he can do about it.

That's the one he was going to get earlier in the week you got that time, end of the year.

It's a problem.

The whole coverage is lost in international economic policy franchise.

And I don't see how it was lost.

See, this is straight into what I was talking about.

I wonder if the, thank God we got Peterson the hell out of here.

I don't want them to fart around and argue with him.

He won't tell them sometimes.

He'll think it's me, you see.

And they've got to be extremely sensitive to what he wants.

I don't know what the hell he wants.

Have they been told?

Yes, sir.

Consistently.

I hope to good God that the Supreme Court doesn't hold a death penalty.

There are 67, 677 ready to be prized.

Is there anything else?

I'll call you back.

Here we go.

The White House is doing this because, you know what I mean, all guys do tend to start strutting around with them.
