The Watergate grand jury, which had named Nixon as an unindicted coconspirator, was ready to receive the evidence. All that was needed to begin the case was to get the approval of the Watergate special prosecutor, Leon Jaworski. Then Jaworski made clear that if the decision were left to him alone, he would prosecute Nixon. The law, said Jaworski, demanded an indictment. His staff agreed unanimously...
Formal Statement. Clearly the second question dominated Nixon's thoughts, so much so that he could not even bring himself to mention the name of Leon Jaworski, the Government's Watergate prosecutor who was to have directed any case against him. According to Nixon's aides and friends, uncertainty about Jaworski's intentions was nearly paralyzing the ex-President, making it almost impossible for him to act on the problems he faced.

Once again he enjoys the collaboration of his excellent art director, Leon Ericksen, who has constructed an entire casino, brightly seedy and lit like a yellow-fever ward, which Altman populates with 24-hour night people. Their faces are ridden with worry, briefly flush with success. Their babble, their half-heard hopes framed in gambler's jargon, are like the running response...
