[…] growth in the general public uneasiness about the current aims of government due primarily to the harm done to the moral standing of the western democracies by Watergate and CIA activity the ultra-left (sic) have been quick to capitalise on the discontent and sensationalised reports against the security establishment and in particular the police, […]
[…] is a professionally produced, 32-page quarterly magazine whose primary focus is the Kennedy assassination but whose ambit is actually the entire period from JFK’s assassination through to Watergate – and beyond. Vol. 2 no. 3, for example is a special edition on Watergate. But it includes a piece on Alger Hiss – who launched […]
[…] Paris peace talks (an early ‘October Surprise’), no discussion of Nixon’s links with Howard Hughes, and the links to that vast intelligence underworld. Nixon’s defining moments, the Watergate scandal, his impeachment, and resignation, exist in a similarly conspiracy-free light. Greenberg repeatedly quotes with approval those reporters who admit to having been fooled by Tricky […]
[…] taste for conspiracy theories. While she recognises that conspiracies do happen, and cites the Catilinarian 2 and Cato Street conspiracies along with the Cambridge spy ring and Watergate as evidence of her breadth of historical vision, she is in no doubt that ‘…historical conspiracies are rare.

[…] death of Labour Prime Minister Norm Kirk in August 1974 began a rather weird period in New Zealand politics.

In 1977 Brussel described Roberts’ letters to a friend of mine as ‘repetitious, giberous, libelous and unsubstantiated’; which, coming from Mae Brussel, […]
[…] This is two complete pages plus, a brilliant summary of the text as well as the best account of the weight of the Wallace material -‘The British Watergate’. The Foot book was raised in Parliament by Ken Livingstone (Hansard 27/6/89 columns 943 – 952) and by Tam Dalyell (Hansard 8/6/89 columns 428- 431). Both […]
I began writing this at the beginning of August. It was then some 8 months or so after Colin Wallace’s release from prison. Some kind of summing up seemed appropriate. A great many journalists have now looked at his allegations – a handful in some detail – and, so far, they have all stood up. […]
[…] has the distinction of being just about the only serious magazine on the American left which continued to take the assassination seriously all the way through to Watergate.
