I'm 86 and agree with all you have said. So much of the shit seems to happen under Republican leadership!

Remember when it was happening. I was in my late teens and becoming eligible to vote around then, had already been to many street protests by then.

I've watched it a few times since. I read the book, too.
Excellent book and film.

I've seen it several times. I have no memory of Watergate. I was a baby & toddler when it happened.
