...Chief Justice Warren Burger's Supreme Court what he and Carl Bernstein had done for Richard Nixon's White House in All the President's Men and The Final Days. Fortified by a $350,000 advance from Simon & Schuster, Woodward and Armstrong spent two years reading cases and interviewing Justices and more than 170 former court clerks, top-level law school graduates who serve as confidential aides for a year or two. The sources not only supplied the authors with blow-by-blow descriptions of the court's in camera deliberations during the first seven years...
