...student felt the disappearance was owing to the energy crisis: "Nixon is burning the tapes for fuel since he has turned the White House thermostat down." Another found cinematic possibilities: "Spiro got them for John Wayne, who will make a film entitled Who Slew Dickey-Poo? It will be filmed in Paranoia." Yet another suggested that "Pat Gray threw the tapes away in his Christmas trash." Other explanations were tonsorial ("Haldeman made his new hairpiece out of synthetic materials made from shredded tapes"), recreational ("Bebe Rebozo made them into eight-track tapes and plays them on his yacht"), even sporting...

("Bob") Haldeman, with his neatly mowed hair (recently grown and raked for a weedier effect) and Ivy League garb, has that "I went to the right schools" look...
...some respects, the choice of TV as a prime target was puzzling. TV news, for one thing, has lagged well behind newspapers and magazines in investigating Watergate. Also, after the initial assaults by Spiro Agnew, TV generally has backed away from exposé documentaries. What the Administration may resent is the networks' ability to serve as a giant megaphone for unfavorable stories that originate in print...
