...some 42 million documents and secret tape recordings, the property of the Federal Government. For six hours, Nixon was interrogated by ten attorneys who are contesting his suit. Among them were lawyers representing Watergate Special Prosecutor Henry Ruth, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and Columnist Jack Anderson, who has been trying to obtain access to the materials since 1974. Turned over to U.S. District Court in Washington last week, the deposition was Nixon's first public statement on the Watergate tapes since he left office...
...When Anderson's lawyer, William Dobrovir, asked whether the review might take five years, Nixon responded with a sharp dig at the lawyer: "I can't tell you until I see how big the task is. Most of the tapes are not as audible* as the one you played at that cocktail party."

Soon California Institute of Technology's James Whitcomb, Jan Garmany and Don Anderson weighed in with more evidence. In a search of past records, they found a distinct drop in the speed of P waves 3½ years before the 1971 San Fernando quake (58 deaths), the largest in California in recent years.

She'd never chewed any tobacco in all her born days, and she winds up and wins by spitting...
...just before his trip to Montreal for the American Judicature Society meeting, recalled Columnist Jack Anderson, when an assistant FBI director called to warn of a possible assassination plot by Arab terrorists. "If the FBI calls you, you've got to pay more attention than if some nut just wrote you a letter," said Anderson. Accordingly, Montreal police were notified, and they arranged for a secret hotel room and plainclothes guard. His protection thus assured, Anderson ventured out to make his speech-which included his standard quick jab at the FBI for keeping dossiers on prominent Americans...
