"So, I think it has to do with the product and what you take to the public. If they like it, they're going to come see you, and if they don't, and if you're kind of getting out of the trendy line of things, then they won't come see you."

"There are some circumstances in which the First Amendment interest comes up against another interest that is really important and in which we have to make a decision in a particular case as to which is more important."

Decision

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"The question at the end of the day was, the courts having found there was no defense, a producer about to go to jail, should CBS in effect tell the producer go to jail even though there is no law at all that we can use to get you out of jail?"

Day

Floyd Abrams
"I would say that the Pentagon Papers case of 1971 - in which the government tried to block the The New York Times and The Washington Post that they obtained from a secret study of how we got involved in the war in Vietnam - that is probably the most important case."

Government

Floyd Abrams
"The principle though remains the same, and the important thing is CBS fought hard, very hard, to protect that principle and will fight again."

Fight

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"I think that the very fact that CBS fought and fought and fought in Texas, in New York."

Fact

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"CBS fought very hard on this because it believed and believes that there's a principle at stake here. The principle is that Dan Rather doesn't work for the police, and that people that speak to Dan Rather understand that he's a journalist and not a police agent."

Work

Floyd Abrams
"I know a lot of reporters certainly will go to jail to defend confidential sources. Some have even gone to jail for an issue like this. But I can't say that's the norm."

Will

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"I just had the sense that at least the books that I had read about law just didn't really have enough of that."

Books

Floyd Abrams
"I really try at least to come back and answer the question as to whether that was really the best way to do that and was I really thinking straight and how did my opponents behave and how did the judges behave was needed."

Judges

Quote_1.png
Floyd Abrams
"If the word gets out, if the perception exists that by speaking to a CBS journalist you are, therefore, inevitably, immediately speaking to the police, I don't think there's any doubt but that people won't talk. And, therefore, the public won't learn."
