Jaworski,Leon. The Right and the Power: The Prosecution of Watergate.
New York: Pocket Books, 1977. 372 pages.
Leon Jaworski had served as Special Counsel to the Warren Commission
and Special Counsel to the Attorney General of Texas. The Warren Commission
assigned him to investigate whether Oswald had ever been an FBI or CIA
agent, and Jaworski reported back that there was nothing to the story.
Jaworski was also a trustee of the M.D. Anderson Foundation, which had
been a CIA conduit. Nixon wanted Jaworski for Special Prosecutor five
months before he fired Archibald Cox, but the first time around Jaworski
refused the offer.
Not surprisingly, Jaworski's Watergate investigation is seen by many
as somewhat less than thorough. It is clear that he had no interest
whatsoever in pursuing evidence that might indicate a larger conspiracy.
This book's major contribution is Appendix A (pages 338-354), a status
report on all the cases, and Appendix B (pages 355-361), which lists 155
members of his staff.
