		Jaworski's success in the closely watched trial helped him launch a career that would include trying Nazi war criminals in Europe, serving as President Lyndon Baines Johnson's personal attorney and prosecuting the Watergate case that ousted President Richard Nixon, a case that earned Jaworski the respect of a generation of Vietnam-era idealists.
		Jaworski brazenly used testimony straight from the Cooke Report in court, prompting Beeks to turn to his rival and demand a copy of the investigation.
		Jaworski's success in such cases also shows that the court-martial was not a make-or-break moment for his overall career, Draper argues.

		Jaworski was the special prosecutor, and I told him that the public expected the special prosecutor to argue the case.
		I remember telling Jaworski, “Leon, the final hallmark of governmental authority is that the solicitor general and his staff always wear formal dress cutaways in the Court.” Jaworski shot me a rather dubious look, and said, “You’re lucky I’m not going to wear cowboy boots.” So that was where he drew the line.
		Jaworski thought Nixon had suffered enough, and that since he probably didn’t have much time left on earth, throwing him in the dock with his confederates would not be a humane thing to do.

	NewStandard: 9/18/98
		Jaworski's initial reply to Haig was: "After what happened to Archibald Cox, why should I accept?" Finally, receiving assurances that he would be free to follow all of the intrigues of Watergate to a conclusion -- even if the trail led into the Oval Office itself -- Jaworski reluctantly accepted the offer.
		According to the judge, Jaworski always "dealt with facts and with the basic data," never with speculative inferences, innuendo or ambiguities "that might flow from those facts." And, again, above all, "Jaworski always sought to be fair," recalled the judge shortly before his death.
		Unlike Jaworski, whose reports dealt exclusively with verifiable and objective facts, Starr's was clearly an "advocacy document" which piled inference on inference, surmise on surmise and conclusion upon conclusion, frequently predicated on the vaguest of ambiguities.

		Leon Jaworski took extraordinary care not to intrude beyond the proper boundaries of his office.
		Jaworski would be the last person to suggest that an attempt to pierce the attorney-client privilege of the president or to interfere with the time-honored protective function of the Secret Service could be justified as an appropriate exercise of prosecutorial discretion, no matter what a court might ultimately rule.
		Jaworski did not inform the House that the grand jury had voted to authorize him to name Richard Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator in the upcoming Watergate coverup trial.

	Brief of United States v. Nixon 418 U.S. 683 (1974)
		The Special Prosecutor, Leon Jaworski, had reservations as to whether a sitting President could be indicted without first being impeached and removed from office.
		Jaworski thus persuaded the grand jury to instead name President Nixon as an "unindicted co-conspirator".
		On April 18 Jaworski sought and District Judge John Sirica issued a subpoena duces tecum directed at the President as a third party to produce certain tape recordings of conversations with specifically named advisors and aides on particular dates and other memoranda then in his possession relevant to the upcoming trials of those indicted.

	Washingtonpost.com Special Report: Clinton Accused
		In the end, at special prosecutor Leon Jaworski's cautious insistence, the Watergate lawyers settled on a less accusatory approach, stuffing a bulging briefcase with tapes and other evidence and adding a "road map" of short but cumulatively devastating statements of fact.
		Jaworski felt that impeachment should come first, but at the same time he voiced doubts in a Jan. 8 memo to his top deputy, Henry Ruth, about being able to "come to the aid of the impeachment process" without trampling on the fair trial rights of the White House aides they were about to indict.
		Jaworski blew up, accusing prosecutor Richard Ben-Veniste at a Feb. 13 meeting of being behind the memo (Ben-Veniste denied it) and saying he did not favor indictment, presentment or even naming Nixon as an unindicted co-conspirator.
