Both the Watergate wiretapping and various acts to conceal it?including payoffs to keep the seven Watergate defendants quiet, promises of Executive clemency for the same purpose, and attempts to hide the involvement of anyone other than the original burglary squad?are, of course, crimes. No matter what the White House tapes may or may not disclose about Nixon, at the least, they would have to contain evidence of some of his advisers' illegally covering up Watergate. Dean, of course, contends that all those cover-up acts were discussed with the President...

Severance is cold and aloof, ever-curious to communicate, a witty though egotistical entertainer. But he is unable to relate to others on a basic human level.
