...taped conversations between Nixon and Special Counsel Charles Colson: " 'Sleazy' was the first word that came to my mind as I listened . . . It sounded like two cheap ward heelers talking in the rear room of a neighborhood dive...
Fleming H. Revell Co. of Old Tappan, N.J., one of the many successful publishers fervently committed to Evangelicalism, took a gamble on Morgan, but it is marketing a predictable bestseller in Charles Colson's up-from-Wa-tergate saga Born Again (both authors made strategic appearances at the Atlantic City convention). Like Revell, Zondervan of Grand Rapids, another long-established Evangelical house, has grown rapidly-from sales of $6 million in 1970 to $30 million this year.

Publishers were quick to confer gilt by association upon men like John Dean, Jeb Stuart Magruder and Charles Colson. Next to come is John Ehrlichman, who dropped out in some Paraguay of the mind to write a novel whose chief character is a "President Richard Monckton...

Bull, though a possibility, was much younger and much less cynical than the source Woodward describes. That leaves Buzhardt, Haig, Garment and Colson. Yet all seem too well known to roam the streets of Washington at odd hours, and it is difficult to imagine, say, the dignified Haig lurking in a garage at 3 a.m. or furtively filching Woodward's New York Times by 7 a.m. to draw a clock face on page 20 indicating the hour...
