Marty to BKLYN magazine: "I don't have to give you 'why'"

TimesRatnerReport

The ubiquitous Marty Markowitz usually has an answer for everything, but when he's stumped, the Bard of Brooklyn is at a loss for words.

When BLKYN magazine wanted to know "why it was prudent to wait" before publicly discussing problems of scale:

Marty replied, "I don't have to give you 'why.'" Not words you want to hear from a public servant, especially one who has always marketed himself as the quintessential man of the people.

The complete item in BKLYN is posted in TimesRatnerReport, along with the scene reported in The New Yorker where Bruce gets on the bat phone to Marty.
