...When you have the opportunity to quit while you are ahead in litigation, you take it," explained Saunders. Milton Gould, Sharon's chief attorney, said he was "astonished," and retorted: "You quit when you don't know what to do." But in presenting their case, Sharon's lawyers, from the firm of Shea & Gould, had called eight Time Inc. employees as "hostile witnesses," a tactic that allowed them the first opportunity to examine the journalists. Time Inc.'s attorneys questioned those witnesses fully during the plaintiffs presentation. Thus, the Cravath lawyers believed that the best witnesses...
Richard Duncan, the magazine's chief of correspondents, defended Halevy's reporting. He acknowledged under questioning by Gould that aides to then Prime Minister Menachem Begin had complained about a 1979 TIME story, reported by Halevy, concerning Begin's poor health. When Halevy's confidential sources would not confirm the details of his report, TIME subsequently published a denial from a Begin aide.

According to the TIME story, a secret appendix to the Kahan report contains information about Sharon's visit with the Gemayel family. Under questioning by Judge Abraham Sofaer and Sharon's lawyer Milton Gould, Halevy conceded that he had not been told directly by a source what the appendix contained, but that he had inferred it from strong hints from Israeli officials and other circumstantial evidence...
