And at ten, or whatever time, in the morning we had the press conference, what we knew is there had been an incident at Three Mile Island, that it was shut down, that there was water that had escaped but it was contained.

But the issue became, how long do you keep the press waiting so that you can gather more information?

There should be at least one leak like the Pentagon Papers every year.

You want me to become a leaker? I'm not. I do not leak any news from the Cabinet sessions.

I mean, I didn't - I should have demanded attention of the boss maybe, or something like that that might have backfired. This I would just take as it came.

We are very private, so we decided from early on that we will keep the press and editors and everybody out of our house.

We held the team together for as long as possible and then sent all except the most critical personnel home.

The supply of leaks is very large. It's helpful for us to have more people in this industry. It's protective to us.

If we could have somehow stayed away from the public and the press, it might have been different, but every private issue seemed to be played out on the front page.
