You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I'm innocent. You've got to believe I'm innocent. If you don't, take my job.

What was Watergate? A little bugging! Richard M

People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I earned everything I've got.

I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

The memory of that scene for me is like a frame of film forever frozen at that moment: the red carpet, the green lawn, the white house, the leaden sky. The new president and his first lady.

It I talked about Watergate, I was described as struggling to free myself from the morass. If I did not talk about Watergate, I was accused of being out of touch with reality.
