You
would
have
me
play
God
?
But
we
’
re
veering
off
the
subject
.
Douglas
didn
’
t
try
to
have
you
assassinated
.
"
"
Says
who
?
"
"
Says
the
infallible
Jubal
Harshaw
,
speaking
ex
cathedra
from
his
belly
button
.
See
here
,
son
,
if
a
deputy
sheriff
beats
a
prisoner
to
death
,
it
’
s
sweepstakes
odds
that
the
county
commissioners
didn
’
t
order
it
,
didn
’
t
know
it
,
and
wouldn
’
t
have
permitted
it
had
they
known
.
At
worst
they
shut
their
eyes
to
it
–
afterwards
–
rather
than
upset
their
own
applecarts
.
But
assassination
has
never
been
an
accepted
policy
in
this
country
.
"
"
I
’
d
like
to
show
you
the
backgrounds
of
quite
a
number
of
deaths
I
’
ve
looked
into
.
"
Jubal
waved
it
aside
.
"
I
said
it
wasn
’
t
a
policy
.
We
’
ve
always
had
political
assassination
–
from
prominent
ones
like
Huey
Long
to
men
beaten
to
death
on
their
own
front
steps
with
hardly
a
page
eight
story
in
passing
.
But
it
’
s
never
been
a
policy
here
and
the
reason
you
are
sitting
in
the
sunshine
right
now
is
that
it
is
not
Joe
Douglas
’
policy
.
Consider
.
They
snatched
you
clean
,
no
fuss
,
no
inquiries
.
They
squeezed
you
dry
–
then
they
had
no
more
use
for
you
?
and
they
could
have
disposed
of
you
as
quietly
as
flushing
a
dead
mouse
down
a
toilet
.
But
they
didn
’
t
.
Why
not
?
Because
they
knew
their
boss
didn
’
t
really
like
for
them
to
play
that
rough
and
if
he
became
convinced
that
they
had
(
whether
in
court
or
out
)
,
it
would
cost
their
jobs
if
not
their
necks
.
"
Jubal
paused
for
a
swig
.
"
But
consider
.
Those
S
.
S
.
thugs
are
just
a
tool
;
they
aren
’
t
yet
a
Praetorian
Guard
that
picks
the
new
Caesar
.
Such
being
,
whom
do
you
really
want
for
Caesar
?
Courthouse
Joe
whose
basic
indoctrination
goes
back
to
the
days
when
this
country
was
a
nation
and
not
just
a
satrapy
in
a
polyglot
empire
of
many
traditions
?
Douglas
,
who
really
can
’
t
stomach
assassination
?
Or
do
you
want
to
toss
him
out
of
office
(
we
can
,
you
know
,
tomorrow
–
just
by
double
-
crossing
him
on
the
deal
I
’
ve
led
him
to
expect
–
toss
him
out
and
thereby
put
in
a
Secretary
General
from
a
land
where
life
has
always
been
cheap
and
political
assassination
a
venerable
tradition
?
If
you
do
this
,
Ben
–
tell
me
what
happens
to
the
next
snoopy
newsman
who
is
careless
enough
to
walk
down
a
dark
alley
?
"
Caxton
didn
’
t
answer
.
"
As
I
said
,
the
S
.
S
.
is
just
a
tool
.
Men
are
always
for
hire
who
like
dirty
work
.
How
dirty
will
that
work
become
if
you
nudge
Douglas
out
of
his
majority
?
"
"
Jubal
,
are
you
telling
me
that
I
ought
not
to
criticize
the
administration
?
When
they
’
re
wrong
?
When
I
know
they
’
re
wrong
?
