Almost two years after resigning as Watergate Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski has finally produced his long-expected account of the anxious, turbulent, year-long investigation that he directed into the worst scandal in American history.

...food break today (groans) but we will just do a few exercises and go home (sighs of relief). We go another two or three hours, of course, so the anger can build into fury. We do "processes" (relaxation and meditation exercises) to "experience" our boredom, anger and headaches and "digest" them...
