James Hagerty in Worldwar

James Hagerty was the Gray House Press Secretary for the Earl Warren Administration. In 1965, shortly after the Race destroyed Indianapolis with an explosive-metal bomb, Hagerty discovered that President Warren had committed suicide. He read aloud for the media Warren's suicide note, which admitted responsibility for the attack on the Race's Colonization Fleet in 1962. After reading it, Hagerty burst into tears, and fled the cameras.
