There is no dispute over the fact that Nixon asked Dean to go to Camp David and write a report on what he knew about the conspiracy. What Nixon planned to do with Dean's report is unclear. When Dean decided not to write such a paper but began dealing secretly with the Justice Department prosecutors instead, Nixon assigned Ehrlichman on March 30 to investigate Dean's charges. Since Dean had told Nixon that Ehrlichman was one of the participants in the coverup, he was a curious choice for investigator...
...detail and lack of any detail at all. While Matthews describes at length the life of Eliot's friend (and possibly fiancee) Emily Hale with a series of frequently fatuous anecdotes, we learn almost nothing about the influence of Pound upon Eliot's work. Any reasons for this are unclear, since the author was refused access to any really significant information on Emily Hale (the Emily Hale papers) while he was free to study all the Pound documents.

...serious and as justifying the work of the plumbers. (That work included the burglary of the office of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist.) By last week White House officials were shifting gears and insisting that the snooping case was really unimportant after all. Just why they did so is unclear. Perhaps the Administration realized that few people would accept the Pentagon's spying as the real reason why Nixon did not want the plumbers to be fully investigated. In any case, both the White House and the Pentagon obviously hoped that the story of the snooping affair would quickly...
