His answer allowed the writer to publish what they {perhaps} already knew but needed a patsy/source to attribute the info. Apple was very concerned with this leak as was the engineer for his job. While talking with him, he maintained a great, learning attitude and was reflecting on his innocence to the press-in-general, and the haunting image of the reporter with notebook in-hand. Then he look at me, smiled, and spoke the W.C. Field's quote, "I'm shocked to see gambling going on in this casino".

Should be "is never a problem." Best of luck!

I love reading this! What kind of things would the PR person that had to be with you do? Obvioulsy if you are in the middle of an interview and this random PR person interrupts you or starts talking before you, then the reporter would know they were heading down the "right path" right? Mike- This is great! I love reading this!
