Smaltz has scored some successes. He has snagged plea bargains or guilty verdicts in eight cases, including the conviction of Sun-Diamond Growers, a California raisin-and-nut cooperative, for, among other things, giving Espy luggage, meals and transportation.

As Mitchelson's interrogatories began chipping into valuable White House time, J.F.K.'s lawyers tried a now familiar tactic. They argued that the Commander in Chief was temporarily protected from suit under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940. A California court...
