...such direct conclusion was explicitly drawn, of course, by the six professional sound, recording, and electronics experts who had exhaustively examined a presidential tape recording containing a mysterious 18-minute deletion of a Watergate conversation between Nixon and his intimate aide, H.R. Haldeman. It would have exceeded both their purview and their competence. But in reporting to Federal Judge John J. Sirica that the conversation had been erased by pushing buttons on a tape recorder at least five?and probably nine ?times, they had found, in effect, that this destruction of evidence necessarily had to be deliberate. Until someone...
...impossible. Either way, Nixon's case does not improve much. Surely neither Miss Woods nor Bull would have acted alone unless to protect the President from his words on the tape. Indeed, the theory most helpful to Nixon is that Bull might have acted to shield his old boss, Haldeman...
...Woods' mistake on Oct. 1, while he, Buzhardt and other aides became worried later, when they presumably first learned that the gap was 18 minutes long? Would an 18-minute erasure be much more alarming than the five-minute gap Miss Woods took responsibility for? Why was not the Haldeman portion immediately played on Oct. 1 to determine just how long the erasure was? When the subpoena for this entire tape seemed quite clear to later lawyers, why did Nixon and Buzhardt insist at first that it applied only to the Ehrlichman portion? Was this claim part of an intended...
Although a demon worker, Haig does not crack the same whip that Haldeman did, and he does not have Haldeman's intimacy with Nixon. The President has come to rely most heavily for advice upon Press Secretary Ron Ziegler, the man who lost his standing with newsmen by repeatedly "misspeaking" the facts about Watergate. Ziegler's rise has baffled most of Nixon's senior aides and horrified Senator Barry Goldwater, who told the Christian Science Monitor last month: "I just can't believe that he would listen to Ziegler. That in my opinion would be something...
Ziegler's background is in advertising; he worked for Haldeman at the J. Walter Thompson office in Los Angeles, where Disneyland was one of his accounts. Hired, trained and brought into the White House by Haldeman, Ziegler still consults his former boss on the President's problems. Ziegler is the one remaining adviser who goes back to the old days with Nixon: he worked on the losing 1962 gubernatorial campaign in California. The President, who values loyalty above all other qualities, obviously feels at ease with...
