That was me. I was elected Treasurer.

Hm. First I've heard of tw doing something decent, instead of the contrary.

Where's the office I go to to register surprise?

Why do you think Nixon outraged him so... betrayal is the worst.

Can't say as I saw in Watergate, even as a mid-teen, anything other than the implication that that kind of "intelligence gathering" went on routinely behind the scenes. Perhaps not all the time, but somehow the entire thing seemed done out of habit, by many if not all parties. Yes, there is evidence in G. Gordon Liddy's book to suggest it was something unusual, so there's room to argue differently -- as there so often is in politics, the softest of soft sciences.

Anti-Republican rhetoric, btw, is just so much nullity. Hardly worth the 'trons. Richard Nixon's sins (exaggerated for being a Republican President, by Democratic pressmen) were no call for a man to turn Communist.
