...Nixon's friends, 12 miles up the beach from San Clemente, both in dark suits, jets droning over every few minutes. Frost led with the real question--were you ever part of a conspiracy to obstruct justice? What was on the 18-minute gap on the June 20, 1972 tape conversation with H.R. Haldeman? Nixon answered the gap contained only his and Haldeman's discussion of the political ramifications of Watergate; that their main concern was "whether or not the other side was bugging us." And his motive for keeping the thing secret? No cover-up, just that "in everything...
...characterize his role in Watergate. Assured but wary, Nixon defers. He says he would rather answer Frost's specific questions. They follow rapidly, as Frost turns chilly.

Harpo swears the video-tape shows the Marquette center, Jerome Whitehead, quilty of offensive goal-tending. He screams it was a fix. Then the other game: he bets on North Carolina, and North Carolina wins. So he's even, right? Only he gave up two points to Nevada-Las Vegas and Carolina only wins...
...exemplary display of civil disobedience, as both the occupation and the march to the site remained orderly throughout the weekend. On the negative side however, the Seabrook protest underscored many of the problems encountered by involved citizens who attempt to express a specific grievance these days: excessive bureaucratic red tape that must be waded through to stage a demonstration of any size, broken promises made by the responsible authorities, and even outright deception...
