...stunned St. Clair knew that the contents were devastating to Nixon's defense. The transcripts showed that just six days after the Watergate wiretap-burglary, Nixon was fully aware that Re-Election Campaign Director John Mitchell and two former White House consultants, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, had been involved-even though Hunt and Liddy had not then been arrested (see box page 18). He was told by Haldeman that "the FBI is not under control," and that agents were tracing money found on the burglars to Nixon's re-election committee...
Planning for the Watergate operation begins in January 1972. In his office, Attorney General John Mitchell, along with Presidential Counsel John Dean and Acting Director of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (C.R.P.) Jeb Stuart Magruder, listens as G. Gordon Liddy, general counsel to C.R.P., spells out a $1 million intelligence plan: electronic surveillance, abduction of radical leaders, muggings, the use of call girls to obtain information from leading Democrats.

Cocks first spotted this week's cover subject as "a really aces actor" in the early 1960s, when Jack Nicholson was gracing drive-in screens in horror movies.

On April 18, 1973, while the Ellsberg trial was still under way, Assistant Attorney General Henry Petersen called to tell the President that E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy had broken into Dr. Fielding's office. The President's curt reply: "I know about that. That's a national security matter. Your mandate is Watergate. Stay out of that." In mid-April, the Justice Department began to advise Judge Byrne of the Government's covert activities involving Ellsberg. On May 11, the case was dismissed...
...even know about it until after it happened. Yet the weight of evidence-many memos and recalled conversations-counted against him. Last week, after a little more than three hours' deliberation, the jury found him guilty of conspiracy and three counts of perjury. The other, lesser defendants-G. Gordon Liddy, Bernard L. Barker and Eugenic Martinez-were also convicted of conspiracy...
