...JEB STUART MAGRUDER, 40, deputy director of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President. Pleaded guilty to conspiracy in the coverup; now serving a ten-month-to-four-year sentence...
...Trouble. The apparent impact of Neal's summation so distressed one defense attorney that he asked a reporter only half facetiously: "Could you hear the prison doors clanking shut?" Nonetheless, the defense lawyer, John J. Wilson, was no less impassioned in attacking the Government's chief witnesses, Jeb Stuart Magruder and John Dean.

He testified too that he had kept Defendant H.R. Haldeman...
Ellsberg said this order--alluded to in CRP deputy director Jeb Stuart Magruder's "An American Life"--was an effort to prevent him from publicizing plans to mine Haiphong. Then president Richard M. Nixon announced the mining of the harbor on May 8, 1972, explaining that it was necessary to keep supplies from the "international outlaws" who had launched an offensive five weeks before...
