He took a few long puffs on his pipe and told Liddy that the plan he had developed was not quite what he had in mind and the cost [$1,000,000] was out of the question." Dean arrived late for the second meeting, discovered Liddy was still discussing illegal wiretapping plans, objected that "these discussions could not go on in the office of the Attorney General," and cut the meeting short; "terminated" it, to use Dean's invariable terminology...

When he first began subbing for Ziegler, Warren would open with a crack at his own expense...
...contain literal portraits of Henry's women; rather it is a six-movement instrumental suite conveying Wakeman's musical impressions of the ladies. Devoid of lyrics, it is bursting with diverse sounds: Mellotrons.* Moog synthesizers, electric pianos, conventional concert grand, harpsichord, even the 240-year-old pipe organ at St. Giles Cripplegate church...
