        The guy over Sam Ervin’s right shoulder is Rufus Edmisten, who I worked for in the late 70s. Rufus was a young staff attorney & strategically sat behind Senator Sam for TV exposure. Rufus was later AG of North Carolina. Sam Ervin was from an era when NC was the progressive south.

        I remember them well. I was a teenager walking around in an Impeach the President t-shirt at the time. It was a horrible crisis for our country, but in those days most Republicans had integrity and put the country above politics. Sadly, that is not the case today.

        And I think Democrats at that time had a backbone. Both parties today are disappointing.

        Is that John Dean speaking? I recognize the back of his wife Maureen's head. She seemed so glamorous to me.

        It is John Dean. I recall Sam Ervin ask Mo Dean if she was comfortable. I don’t think he asked that of any other witnesses’ spouse, just Mo Dean. Ole Sam Ervin. He had a fine eye.

        Sen. Ervin was THE most watchable politician I can think of. He could go from tough trial lawyer, to Southern gentleman, to a guy that would talk crops/fishing/weather etc. I was a kid and was intrigued by him and his eyebrows!

        Yes! If we didn’t know better you would think he was right out of Hollywood. He was charming, sharp, and don’t you dare annoy him or those eyebrows would start fluttering like a butterfly! That’s when politicians put the country before the party. Now it’s up to us to fix it.

        I remember it well; it was the most entertaining thing on daytime television for a teenager confined to bed with mononucleosis. I recovered from that malady only to become a life long political junkie.

        I was only 10-11 but my mom had it on all the time and she would watch while doing the ironing. Since it was the only TV in the house, I watched too remember even now how important it felt. Mom hated Nixon. Here's a great podcast by Slate, strongly rec'd.http://www.slate.com/articles/slate_plus/watergate.html …

        …it did and we already knew who the culprits were, we had their names, specifically the crimes they committed and people were in jail directly related to those crimes. You know a real investigation.
