"I got my biggest scoop when I found out that Antonio Baldassarre, former president of the Constitutional Court, was telling people that a general had told him that in order to stop the referendum on the Guardia di Finanza, he had gone to Scalfaro, who in turn had intervened with two members of the Constitutional Court. I got myself invited to a dinner, sat next to Baldassarre and listened to his story, which ended up in the newspaper the next day. Compared to that, the Watergate scandal was child's play."
