BF: A couple of detail questions, just because in my readings I have yet to really get a grasp of how the commission worked. Did you, obviously, everyone for the most part attended and was together for the hearings, both the expert hearings and the community hearings, was there also, I assume, regular meetings where the staff brought forth new information from the archives?

WM: There were, but they weren't that regular, they weren't that frequent. We would be... but to answer your question, yes, there were.

BF: And at those, albeit, infrequent meetings, was there much discussion, much kind of arguing?

WM: No, not really. I mean, nobody really, we didn't sit around and rehash the testimony of a certain witness, or anything like that. I think by then we all knew. I think we were a little stunned. I was stunned anyway. And I think the others were, too. 'Cause we didn't talk about it. There was no need to talk about it. You heard it and we knew it was the truth.
