Perhaps Woods did accidentally erase the tapes. If so, Nixon, with good cause, may feel his subordinates failed him. This is just the last in a long string of "failures" which serve the president, the reductio ad absurdum of the conduct of Mitchell, Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Dean, Magruder, Stans, LaRue, Liddy, Colson, Mardian, Kalmbach...
...White House thermostat down." Another found cinematic possibilities: "Spiro got them for John Wayne, who will make a film entitled Who Slew Dickey-Poo? It will be filmed in Paranoia." Yet another suggested that "Pat Gray threw the tapes away in his Christmas trash." Other explanations were tonsorial ("Haldeman made his new hairpiece out of synthetic materials made from shredded tapes"), recreational ("Bebe Rebozo made them into eight-track tapes and plays them on his yacht"), even sporting: "Nixon was watching the Redskins football game on TV.

From all outward appearances, neither is Watergate. Said one guest: "What was missing was any indication from Bob that he might have made a few mistakes in all of this. Instead, it was just a reiteration of his story-with a little reference to having put too much trust...
...reasoning, the shadier the image. Perhaps the guiltiest of the White House straight men-before the sartorial bar anyway-is Spiro Agnew. "Every hair is in place on that man," complains Molloy. "He always buttons his buttons." Hence the impression is one of strained perfectionism. H.R. ("Bob") Haldeman, with his neatly mowed hair (recently grown and raked for a weedier effect) and Ivy League garb, has that "I went to the right schools" look. John Dean, with his precise pinned collar, came across the same...
