Oh, the good old days... A second-rate burglary and coverup used to net a president. Today, burglaries of the National Archives and Los Alamos of our nation's most sensitive political and defense secrets are shrugged at.

If Watergate happened today, it would be met with a big, "so what?"

Goes to show that Dean's book, "Worse Than Watergate," might be aptly titled, but not for the reasons one might think.

Watergate was nuttin', but for the fact that Nixon was so hated by his opponents, including the media, and an excuse for bringing him down.

LaRue was present at a 1972 meeting with Mitchell and Nixon aide Jeb Stuart Magruder at Nixon's vacation home in Key Biscayne, Fla., where the plan to break into the Watergate complex in Washington allegedly was hatched.
Be interesting to know if that was true. Nixon was never actually tied to the planning of the burglary.
