- recognizing the “generally sound premise” that “the adversarial process leads to better, more accurate decision-making”
- holding that the United States has no obligation to \give the defendant knowledge of the Government's case and strategy well before the rules of criminal procedure - or principles of due process ... would otherwise require\
