Donahue: "Christ, he was pursuing about nine different actions at one time. If you look at his court calendar, it's mystifying that he was able to make as many effective appearances as he did. It was a marathon performance under the most intense pressure and in the full X-ray glare of the media." For all this, St. Clair had resigned from his law firm and served...
