Times of Trouble. The apparent impact of Neal's summation so distressed one defense attorney that he asked a reporter only half facetiously: "Could you hear the prison doors clanking shut?" Nonetheless, the defense lawyer, John J. Wilson, was no less impassioned in attacking the Government's chief witnesses, Jeb Stuart Magruder and John Dean. Wilson described Magruder as a "professional liar" and Dean as a "mastermind of chicanery, of monkey business, of flouting the law, of having no conscience." The defense attorney dismissed the White House tapes as having recorded nothing worse than the sort of talk...
Through a lawyer last week, Rosenfeld issued a statement admitting that he had "committed several irrational, highly regrettable and unquestionably wrong acts," but he strongly denied that he had tampered with the immunology experiments. "I can understand how my behavior may have raised doubts about the validity of our results," he conceded, "but it would be tragic if work were to stop on experiments in which we have invested so much time, and which I firmly feel will eventually be successful...
...crackled in the fireplace of the White House Red Room as butlers served drinks from silver trays to President Gerald Ford, a handful of aides and his four guests: Historian Daniel Boorstin, Harvard Government Professor James Q.

Very Painful. Ehrlichman's story did not stand up under Neal's grilling, although Ehrlichman may have elicited some sympathy from the jury earlier in an emotional recitation of his final days in the Nixon Administration.

Ehrlichman said Nixon found this chore "very painful" and even "broke down at one point and cried." Nixon offered him money for legal fees and "anything else he could...
...actual plaintiff in the case, popularly known as "the Jesus trial," was Jacques Isorni, 63, an ultraconservative lawyer, legal historian and author of a 1967 book called The True Trial of Jesus. In it he blamed Pilate for the Crucifixion. The defendant, accused of libel, was the Rev. Georges de Nantes, 50, also an ultraconservative, who in a review of the book last year called Isorni a "Christian renegade" and the "apparently benevolent defender of the Jews...
