DIED. JOHN EHRLICHMAN, 73, pugnacious Nixon domestic-affairs adviser and leak plugger who was imprisoned for his role in Watergate; after a battle with diabetes; in Atlanta. Disbarred for his crimes, which included planning the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist who treated Vietnam War critic Daniel Ellsberg, Ehrlichman later wrote novels, worked at an engineering firm, and often insisted the scandal was overblown...
