...progression of witnesses has moved from the naive young Nixon organizers who seemed genuinely betrayed by the unethical behavior of their superiors to those higher officials actually involved in the lies and deceptions. The stage for Dean's testimony was most directly and dramatically set last week by Jeb Stuart Magruder, the affable, intelligent former deputy director of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Testifying briskly and matter-of-factly, Magruder portrayed Dean as a key figure in nearly every step of the Watergate planning and its concealment...
Such was the catalogue description of one of the last courses Jeb Stuart Magruder took at Williams College. It was taught by William Sloane Coffin Jr., who became chaplain of Yale later that year. Ordinarily, courses of this kind are soon largely forgotten by student and teacher alike. But 15 years later, this one was injected into national politics. Under tight control for most of his testimony before the Ervin committee, Magruder grew momentarily impassioned when he recalled the experience...
...Archibald Cox, the special Watergate prosecutor, to prevent full televised airings of the testimony of key witnesses. So far rebuffed by unanimous opposition from the Ervin committee to any delay in its hearings, Cox has now retreated to a court plea that the testimony of John Dean and Jeb Stuart Magruder, the deputy director of the Nixon committee, be permitted in public, but without television cameras present. Cox claims that television so magnifies the publicity that a fair trial in future prosecution of the principals in the affair will be impossible. Ervin, on the other hand, contends that the courts...
Robert A.F. Reisner, 26, the blandly earnest administrative assistant to C.R.P. Deputy Director Jeb Stuart Magruder, told the committee that he became aware of Watergate through odds and ends. The week before the June 17 arrests, he saw some Watergate material in a folder destined for C.R.P. Director John Mitchell. He also came across receipts for funds distributed to Liddy and an operative known as "Sedan Chair 2," who may have been a plant in Humphrey headquarters. Introduced by Magruder as a "super sleuth," Liddy once bounded into the office with a "great idea." He wanted to hire demonstrators...
...major crisis, but a major rehabilitation. Beryl Ikeda says that McGovern would never do something like Watergate. Julius Kearney has felt for a year that Nixon gave his approval to the bugging of Democratic headquarters. Doug Schoen thinks that Nixon knew what was going on, and that Jeb Magruder said as much in a speech at the Institute of Politics. Wally Schwartz points out that there are still millions of people left who are proud to be Republicans...
