Bork was Solicitor General during Watergate. At the Saturday Night Massacre, after AG Richardson and Deputy AG Ruckelshaus resigned rather than carry out Nixon's order to fire Archibald Cox, SG Bork became acting AG and fired Cox. A picture of him with his beard appeared on the front pages of the papers -- first time I remember hearing his name or seeing his face.
Thanks for that info .. I don't have a lot of knowledge of the watergate days except of what I've read. I was in 3 grade when that all hit the fan.
