.....Call Paulsons plumber? He knows stuff<g> Off topic: It was Thanksgiving weekend 1973, and the man who once led the White House Special Investigations Unit, the infamous "plumbers," was standing behind the old House of Burgesses in Williamsburg, Va., wondering where he had gone wrong. Krogh was an ambitious young man, joining President Richard Nixon's staff as a junior lawyer before his 30th birthday. It was Krogh who approved the break-in at the Beverly Hills, Calif., office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist, Dr. Lewis Fielding, using national security to rationalize the White House-sanctioned crime. They were looking for anything they could use against Ellsberg because he had leaked information on the Vietnam War, infuriating the White House. Now Krogh was a prized catch in the wide net cast by Watergate investigators, facing indictment in Washington and Los Angeles, and he was contemplating the integrity he had abandoned to carry out illicit whims of the men who ran the nation.
