The mistake of the Watergate conspirators was that they failed to heed the lesson of the McCarthy hearings twenty years ago. It is one thing to attack the Left, the pitiful remnants of the Communist Party, a collapsing liberal opposition that had capitulated in advance by accepting -- in fact, creating -- the instruments of postwar repression, or elements in the bureaucracy that might impede the state policy of counterrevolutionary intervention and enforcement of global order; it is something else again to turn the same weapons against the U.S. Army. Having failed to make this subtle distinction, McCarthy was quickly destroyed. Nixon's cohorts, as recent exposures have amply demonstrated, have fallen into the same error of judgment.

In the Deep Throat wing of Watergate theory, there are enough candidates to fill an underground parking garage. High on the list is Robert Bennett, who was Howard Hughes's public relation flack and E. Howard Hunt's boss at a D.C. public relations firm that routinely provided cover for CIA operatives. (Bennett is currently a U.S. senator from Utah.) What really set alarms off about being a key source to Woodward and said that Woodward was "suitably grateful."

The Watergate's original developer, Salgo, partnered with Chicago-based Continental Illinois Properties to buy SGI's stake for $49 million in 1977. Two years later, the company sold its interest to subsidiaries of the British Coal Board Pension Fund; Salgo kept his own shares until 1986 and then sold to the coal board.

Besides, the battle was political as well as legal, says Jack Nelson, who covered Watergate for the Los Angeles Times: "Nixon was fighting not just prosecutors and Congress but ... in the court of public opinion. For all of their controlling Congress, the Demo-crats were not in any sense going to go after Nixon unless the public was behind it. And the public got behind it because of the press..holding Nixon's feet to the fire."

TERENCE SMITH: You know, for years after Watergate and after your experiences, the notion among many young reporters coming on was that they had to do the same thing. They had to, quote, get a president in the common phrase. Was that a good thing?
