...move had been under consideration since last November, and the final decision had been left entirely to Attorney General Edward Levi. "I did not know anything about this," Ford told an aroused Senator Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, the Senate's only black. Brooke accepted the President's word, but he marveled that a policy decision of such import could be made without specific presidential knowledge...
...When word of Bork's brief leaked, Levi insisted that he still had not made up his mind and that he still regards busing as "an appropriate tool" for school integration.

Ehrlichman is clearly using fiction as an extension of politics by other means; but his novel ends with word that a member of the White House staff has just been caught breaking into the headquarters of a Democratic candidate. The Company, in fact, bears the same relation to the final drama of Watergate that successive Shakespearean history plays bear to one another. There is some overlap.
