...Bush's resume has convinced the public, it has not impressed New Hampshire's leading newspaper, the Manchester Union-Leader. William Loeb's daily front-page editorials sing the praises of Reagan and report in vivid terms what Loeb calls "Bushgate"--allegations made to the Watergate special prosecutors in 1974 that Bush accepted over $100,000 in illegal campaign contributions from a secret Nixon slush fund.
