He reported to Federal Judge John J. Sirica that five minutes and twelve seconds was missing from a tape of a crucial April 17, 1973, meeting on Watergate involving Nixon and top assistants...
Nixon spent most of his working time secluded in the Lincoln Sitting Room of the White House or in his hideaway in the Executive Office Building, listening to the tapes that the Supreme Court directed him to turn over to Judge Sirica.

Judge John Sirica, the Italian American and old welterweight, applied common sense and created a new sense of justice. Senator Sam Ervin, with a little help from St. Paul and Shakespeare, provided the best civics lesson...
