Thurgood Marshall:
Now, in the spring of 1970, I came down with a bad case of pneumonia, you know, a BAD case of pneumonia. Had to go to the Bethesda Naval Hospital. And word had got out that I was sicker than people realized. Well, a few weeks later I was feeling better. Head of the hospital come in and say "Justice Marshall, we got a request of a report on your condition but I wouldn't dream of releasing it without your permission". I said: "Who wants it?" He said: "President Nixon". I said "Alright, you go ahead and release it, providing you write in great big letters at the bottom: NOT YET, GODAMMIT!". And he did it, too!
