Absolute power

“I was astonished at the authority I had. I felt it was a personal test of my sanity ... I had more authority than anybody should have. It's an extraordinary experience, it really is. You have the power to destroy people.”

-- Former independent counsel Jacob Stein on why the idependant-counsel statute is flawed. Stein investigated charges against Attorney General-designate Edwin Meese III in 1984. Quoted in the May 11 New Yorker.
