We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.

I give Cronkite a whole lot of credit.

They cut about seven minutes from that broadcast, but it was still vital to the story's momentum.

We were right about the slush fund. But Sloan did not testify about it to the Grand Jury.

It took us about a day and a half to find out what had gone wrong.

If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be "gotcha" journalism, but it's also good journalism.

I never believed that Nixon could fully resurrect himself. And the proof of that was in the obits.

The really tough thing would have been to decide to take Woodward and Bernstein off the story. They were carrying the coal for us - in that their stories were right.

Maybe some of today's papers have too many 'feel-good' features, but there is a lot of good news out there.

There have been as many investigative reporters on this newspaper working on Clinton's many problems as I can remember there were working on Watergate.

The Nixon administration really put a lot of pressure on CBS not to run the second broadcast.

Sure, some journalists use anonymous sources just because they're lazy and I think editors ought to insist on more precise identification even if they remain anonymous.

The champagne was flowing like the Potomac in flood.

I think he had a strange, passionate devotion to the truth and a horror at what he saw going on.

You never monkey with the truth.

The biggest difference between Kennedy and Nixon, as far as the press is concerned, is simply this: Jack Kennedy really liked newspaper people and he really enjoyed sparring with journalists.

They certainly did. They tried to make her look like a "nut case" and they succeeded to some extent.

I must be out of it, but I don't know any good journalists who have excused Clinton's problems.

We made only one real mistake. And even then we were right.

If an investigative reporter finds out that someone has been robbing the store, that may be 'gotcha' journalism, but it's also good journalism.

I think the conscientious pursuit of happiness by itself can validate decisions to change, to try again, especially when failure to change will lead to lives of duplicity, dishonesty, and deceit.

News is the first draft of history.

I am finally glad to see that the jury is looking at me.

I have fully cooperated with the investigation and before the grand jury, and I'm quite confident at the end of the day that we'll know what facts are in this particular case.

The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence.

Trial by jury. Live wherever you can make a living. How could a government based on such principles fail?

In the courtroom, it's where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There's a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I've always felt that way - I've been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.

A grand jury hears only one side - that of the prosecutor.

The jury has the right to determine both the law and the facts.

I lost court cases and misdemeanor juries, but of felony jury trials I was successful 105 of 106 times.

Ending racial discrimination in jury selection can be accomplished only by eliminating peremptory challenges entirely.

My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don't think I would have been very happy. I'd be in front of the jury singing.

We look in... Germany for a superstar. We began with 10,000 people, which applied. From these 10,000, 100 was selected. The jury is unbelievably competent.

The values of confidentiality of matters occurring before the grand jury is very important.

When you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.

If you violate Nature's laws you are your own prosecuting attorney, judge, jury, and hangman.

I have great faith in the jury system.

Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races.

To escape jury duty in England, wear a bowler hat and carry a copy of the Daily telegraph.

I spent my time trying to understand grand jury procedure - a topic about which I never before had the slightest interest.

There are two other SLA members who have been granted immunity and then also, one of the SLA members had confessed to two other people, and those people, I'm sure, will be called as witnesses, as they were at the grand jury.

Usually when attorneys are assembling a jury, they're just looking for sheep that are easily impressed.

A fox should not be on the jury at a goose's trial.

It would be enough for me to have the system of a jury of twelve versus the system of one judge as a basis for preferring the U.S. to the Soviet Union. I would prefer the country you can leave to the country you cannot.

The defendant wants to hide the truth because he's generally guilty. The defense attorney's job is to make sure the jury does not arrive at that truth.

The jury had down right contempt for punk rock grass roots ethics.
