░░░░░░░░ We subcontract commemorative issues ░░░░░░░░ a company This is ░░░░░░░░ common this the magazine ░░░░░░░░ now Company that does ░░░░░░░░ for us does it ░░░░░░░░ reader s digest Carlson ░░░░░░░░ read this before COOPER ░░░░░░░░ me just finish Yeah ░░░░░░░░ s sort of been ░░░░░░░░ on a separate track ░░░░░░░░ we did not review ░░░░░░░░ before it went out ░░░░░░░░ Whoa but what if

Americans ░░░░░░░░ They generally do good ░░░░░░░░ In this case they ░░░░░░░░ did not What we ░░░░░░░░ going to do from ░░░░░░░░ on is really take ░░░░░░░░ look at these things ░░░░░░░░ though we at regular ░░░░░░░░ Carlson You are a ░░░░░░░░ friend of mine but ░░░░░░░░ seems so reckless and ░░░░░░░░ to let someone else ░░░░░░░░ over your magazine and ░░░░░░░░ check what they are ░░░░░░░░ on it COOPER Is ░░░░░░░░ separate track It has ░░░░░░░░ Newsweek name on it ░░░░░░░░ bare responsibility That is ░░░░░░░░ with the world series ░░░░░░░░ It says Newsweek Maybe ░░░░░░░░ m dumb like if
