I wonder if you can throw any light on what his attitude was or his interest was towards topics of the day of international import.
Mr. Senator. I just don’t recall. All I know is that he reads the—of course, I am certain he reads all of the paper, you know, or various parts, but he would talk about show business a lot with me, see.
Mr. Hubert. Did you ever hear him discuss at all any international incident?
Mr. Senator. I just can’t think offhand. I don’t say he did or didn’t. I just can’t think offhand if he did or didn’t.
Mr. Hubert. Did you ever seek to engage him in small talk, shall we say, about subjects of that nature?
Mr. Senator. Well, he talked about the President. I remember once we were watching a picture of President Kennedy’s kid going between the desk. He thought that was so wonderful, you know, enjoyed over that. I remember that distinctly.
Mr. Hubert. You mean he saw that on TV?
Mr. Senator. Yes; this he marveled over. But the discussion, we never went into papers too much. He was mainly, I know when he grabbed the paper the first thing he would go to is the show part of it, his competitors, the show part of it, the night life, Tony Zoppi, with a nightclub. He is like, I don’t know how to compare him, to somebody who writes a column in New York.
Mr. Hubert. You don’t recall in all of the years you have known Jack of his being interested in international affairs to the point that you can remember any discussion with him?
Mr. Senator. No.
