...BEGAN. Dean reported having attended two meetings in then Attorney General Mitchell's office on Jan. 27 and Feb. 4, 1972, at which G. Gordon Liddy, counsel for the Nixon re-election committee, presented his bizarre intelligence-gathering plans. Dean's testimony generally agreed with that of Jeb Stuart Magruder, the Nixon committee's deputy director, who had also been present at the two meetings. Dean added some refinements: Liddy's first proposals included the use of "mugging squads" to rough up demonstrators, and the employment of prostitutes?"high class and the best in the business"?to entice secrets...
Restoration comedy is something we hear a good deal about, but we rarely see it actually put on the boards. I know of only three major Eastern productions of The Country Wife in our century: 1936, with Ruth Gordon in the title role; 1957, with Julie Harris; and the lackluster 1965 revival at Lincoln Center...
...three of those key figures are expected to follow Dean into the klieg-lighted Senate Caucus Room. So too will such also potentially damaging witnesses as the mysterious Kalmbach, who handled so much payoff money, Gordon Strachan, who can discredit Haldeman, and David Young, a member of the White House plumbers staff, who could undermine Ehrlichman.

On the other hand, that future lineup of witnesses could reinforce Nixon's claims of noninvolvement, and he could emerge relatively clean...
Colson earlier had sent Dean a memo describing a visit from Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy in which they had complained that their "security activities" for the Nixon committee had not yet been approved by Mitchell. Colson said in the memo he did not know what the proposal was but nevertheless had called Jeb Stuart Magruder to urge prompt consideration of it. Dean, knowing the plan was the Watergate bugging, sent the memo back to Colson, urging its destruction. The prosecutors consider this more evidence that Dean was obstructing justice. Some Ervin committee investigators, however, consider it a Colson move...
...announces his intention of going abroad. Spiro Agnew thus becomes Acting President. Long known as a preacher of puritanism. Agnew starts a major campaign against pornography and prostitution, but eventually is himself drawn into criminal conduct. Nixon meanwhile, instead of skipping the country, takes a leaf from G. Gordon Liddy, dons a disguise, and travels around hither and yon, eavesdropping and generally keeping the citizenry under secret surveillance. When things reach an impasse. Nixon whips off his wig and moustache, reveals himself to the nation, and, issuing a few executive decrees, smilingly sets things aright, though dark clouds...
