Obviously you weren't of age during the Watergate years.

Thanks so much for the compliment. Not only was I of age, I actually knew what was going on. I am well aware of W&B's columns, but the article is about W's book and that's what I limited my comments to. That way I get to compare apples to . . . well, apples!

Okay, I was just challenging that "All the President's Men" led to the resignation. It could be argued that it did--it was published in June before the August hearings (I believe). What I remember was the steady drip, drip, drip over almost two years that eroded support and led to the hearings.

Ironically, Woodward was, as I recall, a Republican, a RINO, I'm sure, but then that was typical of the Rockefeller establishment Republicans, with only the Goldwater/Reagan right about to blossom; looked at in most any way, Nixon was a statist liberal.
