Finished Woodward's book, The Last Men of the President, which is mostly Alexander Butterfield's story.
A side note--Woodward reminds that Sen. Howard Baker, the ranking Republican on the Erwin committee was initially working with the White House to protect Nixon. What was new to me, was a tidbit which Woodward interprets that Baker was still providing information to the White House, but not in person, through an aide.
So politics isn't beanbag and there wasn't a golden age of bipartisanship now lost?
