...most sordid dregs dug up by the Watergate miners would inflame the passions of the domestic audience and provoke the guffaws, prurient curiosity or amazement of the outside world.

Many of us--good, solid Americans--were upset. I confess there were times when I thought of being upset myself. You know, that would be the popular and easy thing to do. But this administration is pledged to leading the nation, not following it. If there...
