Quote for the Day:

In late August, when the press uncovered the source of the money used to pay for the break-in, and the Re-election Committee’s Finance Committee became the target of a long string of stories, its chairman, Maurice H. Stans, was named a principal defendant in O’Brien’s civil suit. Treasurer Hugh Sloan was under attack for having passed money to Liddy on Stans’s authority. Former general counsel Gordon Liddy was being painted as a wild man, a notion that was not discouraged by the White House. We wanted Liddy to sound like a man strange enough to have pulled Watergate off on his own.
