DIED. RONALD ZIEGLER, 63, President Nixon's defiant, clueless press aide during the Watergate scandal; of a heart attack; in Coronado, Calif. Ziegler was only 29 when Richard Nixon sent him to manage the hostilities in the White House press room. "Ron Zig-liar," some reporters called him, but the lies Ziegler told were mostly the President's, given that he didn't really know what was going on in the White House. When Nixon packed himself off to exile in 1974, Ziegler went with him. It was as if he didn't know what else...
DIED. RON ZIEGLER, 63, former press secretary to U.S. President Richard Nixon who famously dismissed the Watergate break-in as a "third-rate burglary," of a heart attack; in San Diego.

Siebel began her work Resurrection: Soon Darkness Will Give Way To Light (2002) in an attempt to get to know her grandfather, John Colin Vaughan, whom she never met.

The marketing can get desperate: a Denver furniture company advertises its mattresses with a picture of "Mike Ziegler, Area Fire Fighter" and the tag line "This is Mike. He can't afford a bad night's sleep." Maureen Wilkinson, owner of Acorn Travel in River Forest, Ill., sharpened her sales pitch. "Are you uncomfortable leaving your family behind?" asked the ad. "Take them with you! Family reunions...
...real fun of the show becomes seeing what unnatural questions Sorkin will plant in the student's mouth so as to free, Open-Sesame-like, another imprisoned piece of canned wisdom from the staff members. "What was the first act of terrorism?" one student asks - and look! Toby Ziegler (Richard Schiff) happens to have on the tip of his tongue an anecdote about the Muslim assassins of the 11th century. A girl asks Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), "What do you call a society that has to just live every day with the idea that the pizza place you're eating...
