Emotional Reactions. His style is certainly fresh. He declines Secret Service protection, rides in a rented van and brusquely turns down little gifts, even a necktie painted with a presidential seal that was proffered by an executive of a garment factory. He evokes an emotional, visceral reaction from many voters. At a Western Electric plant outside Baltimore, he created pandemonium: men pressed forward to shake his hand, women squealed and virtually swooned. For many women his appeal was frankly sexual. Gushed one: "He's got the greatest eyebrows I've ever seen." Comparisons with the Kennedy brothers...
...show illustrates how immaterial the distinction the West draws between art and craft was in traditional Japanese culture: a kosode, or small-sleeved robe - like the 17th century garment in two colors of figured satin, the jagged yellow sheet sweeping diagonally upward across its black ground - is as satisfying a work of art as any scroll or painted screen. Some kimono are filmy and almost blank, with patterns and emblems grouped in small areas. Others, like the takarazukushi, or "myriad treasures" robes, swarming with thousands of embroidered good-luck symbols, look thick enough to stand up on their...
Other sources who could have been Deep Throat by the White House test include Counsel Leonard Garment; Chief of Staff Alexander Haig Jr. or, more likely, someone close to him; Speech Writers Raymond Price, Patrick Buchanan, Benjamin Stein, Franklin Gannon and David Gergen; Haldeman Aide Lawrence Higby; Telecommunications Director Clay Whitehead; National Security Aide Brent Scowcroft; and Domestic Adviser Kenneth Cole Jr. An outside possibility is John Sears, who retained excellent White House sources after his departure as a Nixon counsel in 1969, and whose cigarette-smoking and Scotch-drinking habits, while common enough, correspond to those attributed to Deep...
...tape gaps indeed came from Deep Throat -as he has written it did-then that narrows the circle further. Awareness of the erasures was limited at first to Nixon, Rose Mary Woods, Stephen Bull, Haig-and three men then serving as Nixon's lawyers: Samuel Powers, Garment and Buzhardt. Though he was long gone from the White House, Charles Colson is also known to have learned of the tape gaps soon after their discovery by Buzhardt...
Nixon and Woods are nonstarters. Powers' service in the White House was too brief for him to have been Deep Throat. 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...
