I heard the whole idea was John Deans...his girlfriend (now wife) ran a call-girl outfit and told John she could name names of democrats who used their services, and there was a book with the names... But this might have been hearsay also...All I know is G Gordon Liddy hates the little weasel, G Gordon's words, (John Dean) for organizing the break in and then turning tail and running.. John Dean Former White House counsel John W. Dean III was charged with obstruction of justice and spent four months in prison for his role in the Watergate cover-up. Now an investment banker in Beverly Hills, 58-year-old Dean is the author of the Watergate memoir "Blind Ambition." Dean's wife, Maureen, wrote her own memoir -- "Mo: A Woman's View of Watergate." The 51-year-old former financial consultant for Shearson-Lehman Bros. also penned two Washington novels, "Washington Wives" and "Capitol Secrets." The Deans are at the center of Watergate conspiracy theories that sound as if they came from a steamy Washington novel. They have filed a lawsuit prompted by the published allegations about them. The 1991 book "Silent Coup: The Removal of a President" suggested that John Dean masterminded the Watergate burglary to obtain documents linking Maureen and her roommate to an alleged prostitution ring. "It's all nonsense," says John M. Garrick, the couple's lawyer. The Deans have sued "Silent Coup's" authors and two sources, G. Gordon Liddy and Phillip M. Bailey. Garrick said court approval is pending for an undisclosed settlement between the Deans and St. Martin's Press, the book's publisher. Authors Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin are publishing their responses to the suit and related legal documents on their own Web site. washingtonpost.com
