Anne raised really good points. I do somewhat remember Watergate, and have since been suspicious of the WaPo's role in it. They had an agenda to "get Nixon" - so I would not put it past them to have done what Anne implied.
I don't doubt that at all. I read Witness and I thought Nixon was great in the Hiss trial. And it is true that they were after him. But I hope she wasn't wrong about this stuff. And I doubt she was. I just would like to hear more about it all.
