After maybe 20 minutes, Abe [Rosenthal] suddenly stood up and said, "Do you want to work for the New York Times? I said something like, "There's nothing I want more.'' Abe asked again, this time with emotion, "Are you excited about working for the New York Times?'' "Absolutely,'' I replied. He told me I had a job in the Times' Washington bureau and gave me a congratulatory bear hug. Then he broke out a bottle of scotch and we toasted the happy occasion.
