...disclosures-218 pages of Judiciary Committee comparisons of transcripts, more than 4,000 pages of other committee evidence, the 2,217-page draft of the final Senate Watergate committee report, the long arguments before the Supreme Court-would further numb the minds of many Watergate-weary Americans. Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler dismissed the Judiciary Committee transcripts as part of "a hyped-up public relations campaign," and the Watergate committee allegations about the Rebozo fund as "warmed-over baloney...
...evidence shows that Nixon again discussed the Watergate cover-up with Dean on March 17. A committee subpoena for the tape of that conversation was rejected by the White House. But during a later talk between Nixon and Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler, a tape of which was obtained by the Judiciary Committee, Nixon recounted that on March 17 he ordered Dean to "cut off any disclosures that might implicate him in Watergate."

...most powerful lawmakers. Since entering the assembly in 1965, the liberal Democrat from San Francisco has had little trouble winning reelection, in 1972 rolled up 76% of his well-integrated district's vote after spending only $192. Brown, who sponsored more bills that were vetoed by Governor Ronald Reagan than any other legislator (including one to decriminalize homosexuality and another to ban discrimination by real estate agents), co-chaired his state's delegation to the Democratic Convention in 1972 and figures as a leading contender for mayor of San Francisco should he choose to run next year...
