...Siegel, 33, of U.C.L.A.'s School of Medicine reports in the Journal of the American Medical Association that at least 192 herbs are commercially available and used for smoking, either already prepared as cigarettes or sold loose for "roll your own" and pipe addicts.

First, you can see what Agnew and Ehrlichman's primary concerns were during most of their public lives. Both novels contain lengthy descriptions of the Oval Office (in all of its awesome splendor), Airforce Two (Agnew), Airforce One (Agnew and Ehrlichman), and Camp David (Ehrlichman). The material spoils of power are given prominent places in both books: the authors dwell on chauffeur-driven limos, deferring butlers and maids, posh furnishings, fancy restaurants, sumptuous Government repasts (Agnew likes to show that he's a connoisseur by having Canfield comment on the quality of food and wine), and above all, alcohol.
