...disclosures boomeranged, Eagleton grew visibly more self-confident: he was going to fight on whether McGovern wanted him or not. Once, asked if he would take his case to the nation on television, he replied: "I won't put my family on television." He added: "We have a dog, too, called Pumpkin."

"We had been committed to a high-stress program," says Assistant Sheriff Howard H. Earle, "a Pavlov's-dog style of conditioning the trainee by stress so that he would not panic when he got into a stressful situation on the job." But as social attitudes changed during the mid-'60s, Earle wanted scientific evidence to determine whether this kind of training was indeed desirable. He persuaded Sheriff...
