Erich Mueller, Prop.
Kodiak Diary
(continued from Daite 11
with interest the reports of the
various ones to the newspapers
and magazines they represented.
(Last week, we recorded Al
Newman of Newsweek.)
All in all there reports came
up to our expectations, despite
the fact our meeting wilh some
of the m left an unpleasant
taste.
To-wit: Meeting Lee Carson
(she’s the glamour type) of Int
ernational News Service, she
yodeled, ”My, imagine meeting
ciVILyans here!"
We carried on nevertheless,
attempting the amenities, only
to realize that her thoughts
were anywhere but on the con
versation. Her distraction was so
patentedly noticeable as to
border on an effront, so we ask
ed bluntly, "Do you have some
thing on your mind?"
”Yes,“ she replied hopefully,
"a drink."
Second sample: Being an ar
dent reader of the New York
Times, we arranged to meet their
representative, and told him of
some of our experiences obtain
ing said publication, what with
the shortages. Suddenly he
whipped out his book and mu
a note. "I’ll tell Mr. Sulzbeig*
about it,” he said, “and to
won’t have any more troub
getting the paper.”
Mr. Sulzberger is the pubU
er. Now on the Mirror we m
personally kiss every subseiiptia
check or money order, but w««u
sure Mr.Sulzberger of the 'I'iau
has no remotely personal intern
in any subscribers in Kodtal
Who's leg did that guy think 1
was pulling, anyhow?
Third sample: With Mr. T«
gerson, the banker, we asked *
meet the rep of the Seatt
Times. He was called over an
intioduced. Did we enjoy him
Do we enjoy the 1 iines? Hel
never know. For before we ootA
mutter howjado he said: ‘Sn
that beautiful thing over on tfo
davenport?” indicating where h
had been sitting. “You wouldn’
want me to stand here and via
with you gentlemen with tba
beautiful thing over there, wool
you?”
That beautiful thing was
base civilian employee, soiw
body’s recretary.
We just pursed our lips torn
“no” and he was gone like Fla*
Gordon.
