...take the rap for Watergate or at least provide an excuse that would keep the FBI from thoroughly investigating one of its aspects. The circles of involvement spread from agency to agency, official to official. The Securities and Exchange Commission was afflicted last week when G. Bradford Cook, 36, its chair man for just 2½ months, resigned be cause of the "web of circumstance" that involved him in the Vesco case (see BUSINESS). A federal grand jury in New York, which had indicted Robert Vesco, John Mitchell and Maurice Stans, said Cook deleted from an SEC complaint against Financier...
...Bradford Cook abruptly resigned as SEC head after only 74 days in the job, thus becoming another victim of the spreading Watergate-related revelations. Eleven short weeks ago, Cook seemed likely to make his mark as the youngest SEC chief ever (he is 36), and one who would carry out the far-reaching stock-market reforms begun by his predecessor, William J. Casey; instead, he will have only the unhappy distinction of the shortest chairmanship in the SEC's 39-year history. His departure leaves a shaken agency that will have difficulty carrying out its role of guiding...
...placed it in his safe (the same safe from which $235,000 was later disbursed to G. Gordon Liddy, a convicted Watergate wiretapper). Vesco also gave $50,000 by check, which was publicly reported.

...newly appointed chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, G. Bradford Cook would seem to be in an uncomfortable spotlight. At 35, he is the youngest man ever to head the agency, he is almost unknown among the Wall Streeters he will regulate-and he has one of the toughest acts in Washington to follow. In a whirlwind 22 months in office, his predecessor, William J. Casey, began more far-reaching reforms of the securities industry than at almost any time in the SEC's 38-year history. To mention only two, brokers who had always charged commissions fixed...
