Safire quotes Frank Sinatra on the impossibility of getting $2 million in money into an attaché case. Sinatra added that if it could be done, he would give Safire that amount. When [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]] read of it, he contacted Safire and explained in precise terms how it was possible to get $2,012,000 in $100 bills into a Samsonite attaché case, 12 x 15 x 5 inches deep. Mailer did this with pieces of paper cut to the size of bills. Safire said that now Sinatra owed Mailer $2 million. Mailer replied. “You collect and we’ll share. Frank and I have the same problem. We’re victims of our own hyperbole.”<br /> <br /> {{1970s|state=collapsed}}<br /> {{1980s|state=expanded}}<br /> {{1990s|state=collapsed}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Works]]<br /> [[Category:Works in the 1980s]]<br /> [[Category:Works in 1981]]<br /> [[Category:Article-Interviews]]</div>
