And what the tapes did and did not reveal. This is an hour and a half. Were not talking about current events. And were not really focusing on the chronology of watergate because what im trying to tell you is what went on behind the scenes, the back story, both of developments at the white house itself where i worked and the special prosecutors office, where ive done a tremendous amount of research in finding out what their thinking was and what the documents show.
