Watson rose to prominence in the EMF area while working for the Crowell and Moring law firm. He subsequently formed his own law firm, Watson and Ritter. Since the 1970s, which is when I first met him, he has played Inspector Javert to my Jean Valjean in numerous settings, both here and abroad. He is one of the finest lawyers I ever met. He is indefatigably tenacious and consummately professional—he could represent me any time, if I could afford him.

It is difficult to overestimate Watson’s importance in the area of EMFs, and the significance of the information that he possesses. At the present stage of legal evolution, most of Watson’s activities are probably shielded by attorney-client privilege. If this privilege were overcome, however, either by a judicial limitation on its scope in a particular case, or if one of the exceptions could be proved (for example, that the privilege was invoked for the purpose of concealing fraud) then, I think the information that could be obtained from Watson’s file cabinets would shock the American public.
