...bright young law school graduates who serve as the Justices' aides. Little, apparently, came from the several Justices with whom Woodward and Armstrong talked. Even so, the critics note, the narrative is stippled with much detail about the Justices' inner motives and feelings: Potter Stewart's stomach is said to "knot" before a meeting with President Nixon; William Brennan "felt betrayed" at one point; Burger, who never spoke to the authors, "vowed to himself that he would grasp the reins of power immediately."
