...John J. Wilson, 73, the garrulous defense attorney for H.R. Haldeman, also drew the fire of Sirica, 70, who had once worked with Wilson when both were assistant U.S. Attorneys in Washington. After one Sirica ruling, Wilson protested: "I always want to be respectful, but I think that's palpably unfair." Sirica slapped the bench with his hand, startling spectators. "Now listen, Mr. Wilson, you know me," Sirica snapped. "You've known me for years. I'm as much interested in getting the truth out as you are." Undaunted, Wilson argued on. Interrupting, Sirica shouted...
...illustrated in a salacious way when a March 22 tape was played on which someone in the Oval Office is heard discussing a phone call with Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau. A voice then calls him "asshole Trudeau." The transcript omitted Trudeau's name but identified the voice as Haldeman's. In a pained conference, Haldeman's attorneys insisted that the voice was Nixon's, and other attorneys agreed.

Shortly thereafter, Ehrlichman reassured Nixon that Moore's memory about LaCosta "had become feeble beyond measure." Nixon, in turn, expressed satisfaction to Haldeman that Moore's powers of recall had "dimmed...
...pardon is no reason to let his former aides go free. The two lesser defendants, former Assistant Attorney General Robert Mardian and C.R.P. Attorney Kenneth Parkinson, will probably claim that they had limited roles and a lack of knowledge about what was really going on. John Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman and John Enrlich-man appear to be in much weaker positions, especially if their attorneys fail to block introduction of the tapes. But at every opportunity their lawyers will seek to provoke the prosecution or Judge Sirica into reversible error. Neal intends to be continually on guard; the most vicious prosecutor...
