...Heartless World. "My memory operates something like a movie projector when I hit the right switch," Dean writes. With the help of that memory, plus reinforcement from the presidential tapes that proved his charges, Dean chronicles his three years as the President's counsel, conspiring to contain Watergate, his eventual rebellion, revealing the collective White House guilt, and his imprisonment. Cutting through what is likely to be a reader's confused memories, he reveals precisely what he was thinking-and what he assumed Nixon and others meant-as they plotted to contain the scandal.
