...getting a divorce?" "No, my client is." "You're the secretary?" "No, I'm the lawyer." "You're the lawyer?" This recent exchange between an incredulous judge and Lucia Fakonas, 23, a third-year student at Harvard Law School, demonstrates the struggle of women lawyers to be respected-and even recognized-in the legal profession.

Breslin, perhaps unfairly, contends that Texan Charles Alan Wright, Nixon's constitutional expert, simply learned too late that "when the client is a liar and you believe him, he takes you down with him." Osborne doubts that Nixon's third lawyer, St. Clair, was ever as naive about the President's guilt as he seemed. White, quoting another Nixon lawyer, Leonard Garment, offers the most plausible clue.
