Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that it is obvious that the DOJ is not going to be of any help to the keeper in disposing of the boxes of documents he has accumulated over a long writing career. Given current attention to that sort of thing, the keeper remembers being cleared for “secret” material as a member of an Infantry I&R training platoon, but never seeing anything more secret than the company reveille roster.
He does, however, have boxes and boxes of “documents”—clippings and notebooks, and it is conceivable that there may be some classified material in some of that material. In his own best interests, the keeper is claiming privileged exemption of padded expense accounts and motel receipts dated while he was on vacation.
Phyllis has volunteered to act as special master in the matter, but the keeper is uneasy regarding her inclination to neatness and fears that she may decide that everything should be thrown out, including him.
