What had triggered this avalanche? When the Watergate CONTACT break-in occurred in June 1972, I had been en route to China. I accepted Press Secretary Ronald L.

At the morning staff meetings, the few references to Watergate were always by junior staff members, who complained of the media's unfairness.

They discussed the statement concerning U.S. plans to sell more F-5 fighters to Taiwan that Holdridge was about to present. But Reagan was uneasy about some of the language...
...first show opens with a Playboy interview: John Derek and Bo Derek atop a California hill that is only slightly less windswept than the Dereks' conversation. After a promo by Playmate Tweed en deshabille and a parody commercial, the program rips through a "Ribald Classic," stages a centerfold photo session on Shannon and tosses in a humorous feature on Andy Kaufman, male chauvinist champ presumptive, wrestling Playmate Susan Smith to the mat in a "primal battle of the sexes...
