Not only for the students of politics and politicians themselves. But also for Everyman. The President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, proclaimed for months his innocence in the Watergate affair, disavowing all knowledge of a scandal which began as a 3rd rate burglary at the Democratic National Headquarters in Washington in june 1972, and proceeded to blossom into the worst political blight in the history of this nation. The scandal seemed to consume almost every major figure, and not a few minor ones of the Nixon ad- ministration. To watch the scandal eat up men who had given the ad- ministration its image, the Colsons, the Deans, the Haldemans, Mitchells, and Erlichmanns was to feel a mixture of emotions ranging from disgust to outrage to sadness. To a man, the nation seemed to wonder. What was happening to us? Could the President of the United States, sworn to uphold the constitu- tion 'and the laws, actually be a violator of those legal codes? To a nation sitting on the edge of its chair, as 1974 went on the answers became more and more evident. Yes . . . the President did. The events of the summer rapidly reached the climax that had been in the process of building since the spring of '74. The House judiciary Committee, entrusted with the investigation of possible grounds of impeachment, began in February to consider the grave constitutional question of what constitutes grounds for removal of a President by im- peachment. At the same time, legal battles waged between Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon jaworski and the Nixon White House for possession of information jaworski claimed he needed to probe deeper into finding out just who was responsible for Watergate from the break-in to the rapidly mushrooming cloud of bribery, perjury and cover-up. The White House tape recor- dings were a crucial factor in the ongoing investigations by both jaworski and the House. This was evident in the stiff resistance the White House put up to the other sides equally stiff determination to obtain them. As the summer wore on, events occurred rapidly. Grdered by judge john Sirica to deliver some 55 White House tapes to the Special Prosecutor, the White House took the issue to the Supreme Court. Nixon gambled, and he lost. As july became August, the Court decided 8-0, that the White House could not keep the tapes locked away, that they must be made available to Mr. jaworski. The end was near. Nixon publicly admitted discrepancies in his previous statements of non- inv ma cle kni tivi Su suj jol ga' pr im pa to. fo an W Srl be hi M U th ui si h Si tl fl 1 i ti n a P li l f- L t l- X I X i
