There is no great urge, for example, to stay in the empty wastes of the Sinai Desert.

But agents from Garrison's office took the list of questions away from the polygraph operator and told him not to say anything. When Garrison presented his case against Clay Shaw at a hearing, Russo and Bundy were his star witnesses.
