Take a deep breath. That's supposed to be one way to undermine a lie detector. Inhale deeply before any questions that make you nervous. Applied breathing during polygraph tests is an old trick Russian agents were taught, a small deception in a business that knows all the big ones...

( Williams, who denies this, has passed two polygraph tests.)

But it's two years later: memories will be hazy, and there may be no way to say concretely what really happened...
