...denouement was jarring in its swift resolution and therefore a bit surreal. Nearly 800 days after the Watergate breakin, 289 days after the Saturday Night Massacre, 97 days after the White House transcripts were released, twelve days after the Supreme Court voted, 8 to 0, that the President must surrender 64 more tapes, five days after the House Judiciary Committee voted out articles of impeachment, Nixon's defenses finally vanished. On Monday he issued the June 23, 1972 transcript that amounted to a confession to obstruction of justice and to lying to the American people and his own defense counsel...

Nixon's personal attorney Herbert...

Then Ben-Veniste pointed out that a White House transcript of the President's April 17, 1973, meeting with Ehrlichman and Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman ended at 4:35 p.m. while St. Clair had told the court that the reel of tape was "removed full" at 4:20 p.m. After checking, St. Clair reported to Sirica that five minutes and twelve seconds of the 45-minute conversation had not been recorded because...
