...story's truly exciting figures (Charles Colson, John Ehrlichman, H.R. Haldeman, Bud Krogh) get such short shrift that it is often hard to tell them apart; they are interchangeable ciphers in a series of look-alike scenes. Pat Nixon (Cathleen Cordell) is a walk-on role, and Martha Mitchell is not even mentioned. The show has a surprisingly in consistent attitude toward the casting of famous faces. Ehrlichman (Graham Jarvis) and John Mitchell (John Randolph) vaguely resemble their real-life counter parts, but many of their White House cronies do not.

After seven months in prison, former Mitchell Deputy Jeb Stuart Magruder is employed as vice president of a religious foundation in Colorado Springs at half his former $36,000 Government salary. Egil ("Bud") Krogh has been hired as an assistant to Republican Congressman Peter McCloskey of California at $16,000; he drew $40,000 in Nixon's Transportation Department...
