Watergate passed itself memorably into American myth. Books by almost everyone involved came tumbling off the presses. The movie All the President's Men and TV miniseries like those based on John Dean's Blind Ambition and John Ehrlichman's novel The Company turned the history into the sort of instant legend in which fact and fabrication become indistinguishable. Watergate created its own rich vocabulary-of "stonewalling" and "twisting slowly slowly in the wind," of the "limited hangout" and expletives deleted." Haldeman, Ehrlichman and "the Big Enchilada,' as they called Attorney General John Mitchell, spoke...

Colleen McCullough's 1977 blockbuster, The Thorn Birds, sold for $1.9 million. But An Indecent Obsession (1981) managed much less. Watergate Conspirator John Ehrlichman and bestselling Feminist Author Betty Friedan recently shared the same fate: their books were withdrawn from paperback auction because the five-figure bids were insultingly low. There was only one bidder for Gael Greene's Doctor Love; and although Diana Trilling's Mrs. Harris went...
