...immediate post-Watergate period, Mitchell also contradicted Magruder's testimony that there had been a decision in Mitchell's apartment on June 19 that Magruder should burn his records on the wiretapping results, code-named Gemstone. He denied Dean's allegation that he had asked Dean to seek the approval of Ehrlichman and Haldeman in enlisting the help of Herbert Kalmbach, Nixon's personal attorney, to raise and disburse payments to the arrested wiretappers. He scoffed at Dean's charge that he and other Nixon associates talked about out-of-court approaches to a Washington...
...girls, life without male approval was practically no life at all. I remember sitting home on the night of a big high school dance thinking myself a failure as a person because no one had asked me. Most of the girls I knew were trained to serve the sexual code--in the expertise of how to win a man and keep him, how to flatter and flirt and sell their wiles.

Part of the problem lies in the fact that on the one hand a lawyer as a counselor is expected to bring a detached and professional point of view to a case...
...system is somewhat complicated. Using his home or office phone, the customer must first punch a seven-digit number to get access to the computer, then enter his personal identification number, then another code number for the bill-payment service, then a fourth code number for the company to receive the payment, then a fifth number to indicate the amount of the transaction (all numbers are kept secret between the bank and the telephone users). A computer-simulated "voice" confirms each step of the transaction over the phone, so that a customer runs no great risk of paying somebody else...
