Deep Throat and Ben Stein
My kids were asking me about the whole Watergate thing the other day. I gave them my views on Nixon. When I was a kid growing up in Texas I had friends that had bomb shelters in their back yards because we were afraid that the Soviets would rain hydrogen bombs down on us. You don’t know what its like to be at school and have the kids of military families picked up early because their dads called from the SAC base and told their wives that the base was being sealed and the threat level was being raised to DEFCON 3. Those were scary times. Nixon did something about that, among other things. Like they said in “Star Trek” only Nixon could go to China.
