The beauty of this strategy lay in the tight "security in the national interest" the President controlled to keep his nastier acts from the public eye. So detente was played up, the bombings of Cambodia were to remain a secret, and the employment of 15,000 to 20,000 Thai mercenaries in Laos, in direct violation of congressional edict, would not be officially revealed until Ambassador Godley testified before Congress while Watergate...
...view was a 48-foot-long corridor made of wallboard and lit by a flourescent green light through which you could creep sideways; a black and white photograph of two messes of junk plunked on a studio floor; a large TV screen on which a pair of lips were painstakingly mouthing "lip syne" again and again; another TV screen with a man smearing lather all over his naked hairy chest; a color photograph of a pair of hands waxing the red plastic letters "HOT;" a rusted steel plate called "Dark"--the artist claimed to have written "dark" on its underside...

...erupted: chairman of the Republican National Committee. He also joined the chorus of protest against early press exposes of Watergate. But during the campaign he fought many a gallant losing battle with the Committee for the Re-Election of the President; in fact it was he who dubbed it CREEP. For his interference, he was shoved out of important campaign work and dumped from his National Committee office after the election...
