Nixon took the precaution of taping the late-morning meeting. At one point he joked: "Matter of fact, the room is not tapped, [laughter] Forgot to do that [laughter]." The President said he was "very grateful" for the support the dairymen had given him???"and I don't have to spell it out." But nothing was said at this key meeting about the $2 million pledge or any deal.

The Watergate incident and related activities, McGovern supporters felt, never had the popular impact...
...first time I've had such an experience in my life," says Packwood. "It wasn't political. It was regal. People wanted to touch him???not just 21-year-old student nurses but 45-year-old orthopedic specialists. It was astounding and a little frightening. I've never seen that reaction to anybody in my life, in politics or out. The closest thing I can remember was when I attended an Elvis Presley concert a long time...
