Gurney also surprised Dean on a minor confusion about the hotel in which he had discussed hush funds with Nixon's attorney Kalmbach. Was it Washington's Mayflower Hotel, as he had testified, even though Kalmbach had been registered on that date at the Statler Hilton?

Donnelly was only kidding; there is no such cookbook - not yet. But Howard Mercer, an inventor, and Joe Sugarman, an advertising executive, have created a slick card game called " Watergate Scandal: a game of cover-up and deception for the whole family." The pious instructions read: "To win: nobody in the Watergate Scandal wins. There are just losers. Once the cards are dealt...
