...involved some of the same personnel and tactics. That was the burglary of the office of a Los Angeles psychiatrist who had been consulted by Pentagon Papers Defendant Daniel Ellsberg. The burglary was directed by White House Plumbers Hunt and Liddy. They reported to White House Supervisors Egil Krogh and David Young, both of whom reported to Ehrlichman. Ehrlichman's contention that the operation was legal touched off a long constitutional debate before the cameras (see box page...

Now there is a new man, I can't even remember his name...
