I took the opportunity to call him aboard his aircraft and mention that it behooved us all to speak cautiously in public, and especially to the press, on this issue. Weinberger's tendency to blurt out locker-room opinions in the guise of policy was one that I prayed he might overcome. If God heard, He did not answer in any way understandable to me.
