y to get everybody concerned by phone at
place of business, not his home, and to request an
appointment. Somebody in the F. B. I. got eager and
ran out in the middle of the night. Your reporters in
Washington know that. So how can any one here say”
that I ordered that?”
Then, from this quickness and finger pointing, he
can relax and smile a little and talk about things you:
thought he was a Puritan about. Bobby Kennedy hates,
ey always said, and this is why he was the most
fittcctive Attorney General against organized crime
that we've ever had.
But there was one day, over a cup of coffee, wtien
Bobby talked about Joey Gallo, the Brooklyn gangster
who was sure he was really Richard Widmark
“He came into my office one day, and said some-
thing about it being a nice place to hold a crap game.
Then he said he had considerable influence in Brooklyn
and he would like to help my brother and me with the
campaign. I said, ‘If you really want to help us, you |
can tell everybody that you are voting for Nixon.’ Then
he said that if we ever needed anything done or if
somebody was bothering us, he'd be glad to take care
of it. I told him, no thank you, I didn’t have any need
to have somebody murdered this year.”
He laughed and showed a lightness that was not
supposed to be there. . .
So now he is in New York, this one with a sad
face, and his hand is out and he runs for office and his .
campaign is confusing because people still think of his
brother so much. But he has not been beaten off sum-
marily and if he is going to be beaten at all it is not
going to be by much. He is the. only one who ever
could have come around here as he has.
“He has a pretty good name going for him,” Bob
Wagner, the Mayor, safs. Yes, he has. oF
