Confesssion and avoidance / by Leon Jaworski and Mickey Herskowitz

In over fifty years in the courtroom, Leon Jaworski has battled and cham pioned the legendary figures of our time. CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE takes us from his early years in Waco, Texas, to his headline-making investi gations into the Watergate and Korean scandals of Washington. Jaworski de scribes a Lyndon Johnson angry over a flyspeck of a problem, and sleepless over a war that would not end; a Richard Nixon so suspicious that he thought Jaworski himself was bugging the Oval Office. He reveals a President of South Korea desperate enough to personally approve "Operation Ice Mountain," the secret plot to sway American public opinion.

This is the courtroom life of the son of a Polish immigrant who overcame the hardships of name, language, and social discrimination to achieve the pinnacles of power and honor. His was an American storybook life, except they don't make stories like Leon Jaworski's any more.
