Orig owners name on title page. ISBN 0689106580. LCCN 74-20350. Here the author unravels the tangle of episodes which fascinated and mystified Americans for two years. How and why were the famous tapes conceived? And why were they not destroyed? What motivated the self-righteous men about Nixon and how did they sep by step, glide across the law and enlist the hustlers, the spies, the thugs of the underground? He then tells how, as the details became public, American politics responded - and how press, court, Congress moved, each in its own way, to develop from the story of a bungled burglary and examination of what Americans believe about themselves, about the power of government and the limits that must be set on that power. 373 Pgs.
