A bizarre event not long before Watergate -- the spying on the President (Nixon) and his staff by the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- has been known before, but the tapes covering the event have just been released, or were several months ago. I'm a little behind in my reading of the Atlantic Monthly, but the article is still available online from the April issue: http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2002/04/rosen.htm
Interesting factoid: the Navy yeoman who was the plant by the Navy in the President's office was LDS, and it was LDS columnist Jack Anderson who broke the news about this and many other shenanigans in the Nixon white house. Nixon was immediately suspicious that the yeoman, who was quickly transferred, was linked to Anderson via a relationship whose nature is against the charter to mention or discuss. Nixon seems to have had an instinctive reaction that all of his enemies were either Reds or were blackmailed because of their alternative lifestyle. OTOH, perhaps this was a case of elders of Israel saving the Constitution in a small way? Warning: if you read the article, you'll probably feel like you need to take a shower afterwards. -- Marc A.
