Am 78, my timeline of Watergate and now - 1972 McGOVERN, 1974 Watergate hearings [View all]

Correct me if I'm wrong. Stuff started (before? ) 1972 because during the campaign I was on a bus from university to home and an elderly Repub lady was saying, "I don't believe that President NIXON" had done "things like that." And I was quietly but in-your-face saying that he did.

Next thing I remember now was glued to my tiny t.v. screen (1974? ) with the Southern Senator authoritatively rumbling in charge, and yes the Repub BAKER with his what-did-the-president-know-and-when-did-he-know-it thing - everybody CREDIBLE and HONEST.

**** All my afterward-life I've thought that was never to be seen again. I don't know if KRASNOV will ever be held accountable now, but I certainly never thought I would be living through (to my END) this kind of total corruption and later redemption of the country.

I hope to live to hear the words, "Our long national nightmare is over."
