...lower court will now assess damages against Nixon and two codefendants, former Attorney General John Mitchell and White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman. The court will also decide if Kissinger is liable. If Halperin, his wife and three sons are found to be eligible for the $100-a-day damages from each defendant, as specified by law, the family could collect more than $1 million. And it might not end there. Nixon faces similar suits from New York Times Reporter Hedrick Smith and former Kissinger Staffer Anthony Lake...
Richard Nixon lives quietly on Manhattan's East Side nowadays, H.R. Haldeman works for a low-profile Los Angeles real estate firm, and Deep Throat has long since fallen silent. But as the events of last week emphasized, the ghosts of Watergate still rise into the nation's headlines from time to time.

...Nixon told Haig, "We do know we have one problem: it's that damn conversation of March 21." That was when Presidential Counsel John Dean warned Nixon about "a cancer growing around the presidency." Nixon suggested that Dean's account of the conversation could be refuted by Haldeman: "Bob can handle it ... Bob will say, 'I was there; the President said ...' " Haig agreed: "That's exactly right." And, suggested Haig, "You just can't recall." But if Nixon did, in fact, remember, he would, of course, be lying...
