Mr. Senator. No; he was not of the nature, he never went into anything of that nature.
Mr. Hubert. Did you ever hear him discuss international politics?
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Hubert. Did he seem to show any interest in international affairs as they were developing?
Mr. Senator. No.
Mr. Hubert. I mean would he be the type of person that would read the newspapers at all? Did he read newspapers at all?
Mr. Senator. Oh, sure; he read newspapers religiously every day.
Mr. Hubert. Did he read all of them, I mean every part of it?
Mr. Senator. I will tell you, when you ask me that, I tell you where his reading is. On the toilet bowl. That is where all his reading is—is on the toilet bowl. It may sound funny, but it is true.
Mr. Hubert. Can you give us any idea from what you know, of what his reaction to international events was, such as, for instance, the Cuban crisis in 1962?
