...Frost interview did not answer some of the lingering questions about Watergate. What precisely was the Watergate wiretapping meant to find out? Did Nixon know in advance that his re-election committee was planning the breakin? Why did he not destroy all of his tapes before their existence became known-or even after? Who erased the 18½ minutes of missing Oval Office conversation from the June 20 tape...
...Following that, in successive weeks, will be the interviews on the war in Southeast Asia, as well as the dissent at home, and his final days in office. It is also possible that Frost will cobble together an extra program from the unused portions of the 29 hours of tape. Nixon has approved the sale of a fifth show, although no plans for its airing have been completed. Then of course, there will be the memoirs; one of Nixon's aims in undergoing his ordeal with Frost was to stir interest in his forthcoming book, which...
Suddenly it was like the old days. Turn on the tube or open a newspaper, and there was yet another "new" Nixon tape. David Frost used three unpublished transcripts to surprise the ex-President. The New York Times and Washington Post played their newly uncovered transcripts under big headlines. Was some new Deep Throat reeling off tapes in the night whenever a Watergate researcher or reporter thought he needed...
...prominently headlined Washington Post entry in the tapes derby was questionable. It was a transcript of a Jan. 8, 1973 conversation between Nixon and Aide Charles Colson in which the ex-President purportedly mentioned "goddamn hush money," possibly for the Watergate burglars. But the transcript printed by the Post was an early version that bore a warning of "reduced audibility" on its cover. Later, after publishing its scoop, the Post obtained transcripts of the Jan. 8 tape that had been prepared by experts on the special prosecutor's staff; they had deleted the hush money reference, deeming that section...
Frost ignores the suggestion. With rapid-fire intensity, he reads a devastating litany of quotes from the March 21 tape, in which Nixon clearly sanctions the payment of hush money to Hunt. On this tape, as it was introduced in the House Judiciary Committee hearings on Nixon's possible impeachment, Nixon says such things as: "You could get a million dollars. You could get it in cash ... Don't you think you have to handle Hunt's financial situation damn soon? ... We have to keep the cap on the bottle that much ... That's why for your immediate things...
