“I thought they gave you a big vote of confidence after that riot or whatever it was two days ago.”“Vic, didn’t you see the paper yesterday? You know how I said Murray called me about the attack on me and Kira and Arielle? I think, I mean, I know I shouldn’t have talked to a reporter without clearing it with my boss, but he’s a friend of yours, so I didn’t think he’d use what I said—but now I just had a message from Julia Salanter. She wants to see me. What should I say to her?”“I didn’t read yesterday’s paper, so I don’t know how bad the damage is, but tell her what you just told me. Tell her she can call me if she wants to talk about Murray further. If he abused his personal relationship with me, well, I’m going home; I’ll read the paper. I can’t do anything until I see what he said. Call me after you’ve seen Julia.”I hotfooted it home with the dogs and left them in the backyard while I ran up to my place and found yesterday’s paper. I’d tucked it into my briefcase but hadn’t remembered to read it.The protest at the Malina Foundation was inside, in the MetroBeat segment.
