...resign and prepared two documents for his signature. The summary does not explain the need for two papers. Dean contends that one was a resignation, the other a confession of his sole role in the Watergate cover-up-papers Dean would not sign because he claimed that Ehrlichman and Haldeman were deeply involved as well and must share the blame. Thus it was that Nixon announced on April 30 that Dean had been fired and Ehrlichman and Haldeman had resigned...
...began, one of the President's most loyal and sympathetic former advisers told TIME that he sees, sadly, only a fifty-fifty chance that Nixon can remain in office.
