Ehrlichman suggests to Caulfield that he leave the White House and set up a private security business that would provide security to the 1972 Nixon campaign. This project, Sandwedge, would be similar to the Kennedy security firm, Intertel.

If I disappeared all of a sudden, people would ask questions. "You can't do it from here," Dean interjected.
"No," agreed Bud Krogh, speaking for the first time. I told them I could understand that, but that I'd need some kind of cover.
"Well," said Dean, "you give it some thought, and we'll give it some thought. But what do you think of the idea?"
...
"I am willing," I said, choosing my words carefully, "to serve the
President in any way I can, but there are a number of different ways I can serve him. I'm here because of John Mitchell, and I work for John
Ehrlichman. I want to be sure that this is how they feel I can best serve the President. So before I decide, I'd like you, Bud, to run this past
Ehrlichman and you, John, to check with John Mitchell. If they both agree, then I'm your man."
Krogh nodded his head in assent and Dean got to his feet hurriedly, said,
"Fair enough," held out his hand to shake mine, and left as quickly as he had entered. Bud Krogh rose and shook hands too, saying

Later, in her own debriefing by the senate committee, Yesbeck said that she believed Baldwin had been in the DNC to see Maxie many times before -- but she may well have been confused by the name he gave her on entering and his physical resemblance to Phil Bailley, who had been in and out of the DNC more than a few times. Then too, the
Bailey name was one to conjure with inside the Democratic stronghold, for it was borne by an important Democrat from Connecticut; Baldwin has at times said that he claimed to have been that Bailey's nephew, though at other times has not pressed this notion
But why would McCord have sent Baldwin in to get the lay of the land, if there had already been a break-in and the burglars already knew the set-up? There must have been another reason.
Baldwin made sure that when he saw Maxie Wells by telling Yesbeck that he was a friend of Spencer Oliver's. Yesbeck passed him on, and returned to her duties in the reception area. Then something happened either between Baldwin and Wells, or while Baldwin was in proximity to
Wells's desk. We can't say precisely what, but we do know that after the burglars were caught, the key to Maxie's desk was found in the possession of burglar Roland
John, as mentioned in the last paragraph, is also at fault when it comes to the lack of communication in his relationship with Ann. He’s described by Ann as slow and not good with conversation. He’s a very work driven man, and it makes it difficult for him to sit with Ann and have a nice, relaxed conversation. Ultimately, because he is a farmer, he doesn’t have many chances to have a nice long talk with his wife, so the lack of communication is not solely Ann’s fault. John, after discovering that his wife has cheated on him after 7 years of marriage, doesn’t confront her. He doesn’t attempt to speak with her at all; instead he decides that her happiness is more important, and it’s implied that he walks back out into the snowstorm and kills himself. Obviously, John’s death could have been avoided if he had actually said something to Ann before committing suicide. However, this can be considered as a very crucial moment of the story, as it proves why a lack of communication is important in a relationship, though to a very extreme measure. Because Ann, and John especially, didn’t have experience sharing their thoughts when they were unhappy, John didn’t have the ability to speak his mind when he needed to the most. They could have potentially talked about it and found a result that wouldn’t have ended in John’s death, even if it hadn’t been the happiest of endings. However, because there was very little communication in their relationship, the two couldn’t find a way to resolve their problems, and it ended in John committing
The documentary entitled, Watergate Plus 30: Shadow of History, documents the political decisions and environment within the Nixon Administration from 1969-1974. The documentary specifically details and describes the environment and culture in which the Watergate scandal could occur and the events and abuses of power that lead to its occurrence. Setting the tone and the political climate of the Nixon Administration was the Vietnam War; making him a wartime President, a war that he inherited from his predecessor. The Vietnam War faced a lot of opposition from the general public, with massive protests and political demonstrations by the younger generations and overall general public. Nixon’s presidency was surrounded by this climate amidst the
[Bending on one knee]Reverend Hale: Goody Proctor, you bare a gift, convince John to confess, and may you both bare God’s giving gift.
Response: John Mitchell made the mistake in not consulting in advance with Krista about the plans to share the office space with Lisa Todd’s Team. He should have identified if there was going to be any problems or any frictions in making such decision. “A decision is a choice made from available alternatives” (Daft 220). John should have looked at any alternatives or consult with Krista to come up with solutions. “Decision making involves effort both before and actual choice” (Daft 220). If he would have analyzed the situation before approaching the way he did, it would not have escalated to an argument. He was already determined and there was no way to make him think differently. I think the way he solved it was wrong, especially for Krista when she had no choice or input in the
Proctor’s confession to having seen Satan is fake, and without the confession he must be executed. Proctor’s confession is soon to be revealed false when he states: “ You will not use me! I am no Sarah Good or Tituba, I am John Proctor! You will not use me! It is no part of your salvation that you should use me!” ( Act 4 Lines 281- 283). John’s decision to keep himself honest, while at the same time, wanting to confess, leaves him with a magnitude of frustration aimed at himself. With the option to save himself by lying and confessing about having Satan visit him, John feels that this is his chance to prove to himself that he is not a fraud. John’s decision to destroy the signed confession causes him to forgive himself and not to think of himself as a
John Grimes, the eldest son of Gabriel Grimes, a former well-respected and dynamic preacher, is in search of answers to his unhappiness. John wants to find his place within the church, define his relationship with God, and wants to flush the dislike he has for his father out. His father favors John’s younger brother Roy over himself. Although Roy is a bad seed and has an impeccable ability to get into trouble, he undoubtedly remains the apple of his father’s eye. John has been compared to another young man named Elisha, who is a member of the church.
White collar crime is a term created by Edwin Sutherland in 1939 that refers to crimes committed by people of higher social status, companies, and the government according to the book “White-Collar Crime in a Nutshell” by Ellen Podgor and Jerold Israel. White collar crimes are usually non-violent crimes committed in order to have a financial-gain (Podgor and Israel 3). A very well known white collar crime that has even been taught in many history classes is the Watergate scandal. This is a white collar crime that was committed by government authorities. Watergate was a crime that shocked the nation.
Everyday citizens often live unaware of their government’s inner workings. The knowing of political espionage is often too heavy of a subject to be inducted in conversation. True, prima facie, modest twists and turns of information may not be considered substantial, but this inconsideration leaves much to be uncontrolled. It is easy for political leaders to become power crazed, to not realize the massive implications that come of their actions. Only after all is said and done do the people actually realize their government is an opaque mask of deception. The Watergate Scandal substantially impacted Americans’ trust in their government.
John does not know who is father is but that doesn’t matter because Dan Needham plays the role of a father and he does a great job doing so. Throughout the novel we see examples of how Owen and John are more like brothers than friends. Also, we learn from A Prayer for Owen Meany that sometimes those who are not blood-related may be closer than
Political leaders of the United States were, at one time, thought of as crucial members of our society. Ideally, their main goal was to represent and satisfy the needs of the American people. Unfortunately, over the last fifty years, our trust in our administrative representatives has drastically declined. Beginning with the great conspiracy theory that President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 was actually planned by political leaders, America had, for the first time in history, begun to question its faith in its very own government. Consequently, the American people became extremely hesitant when it came to electing officials into office. Despite his loss to JFK in the 1960 presidential election, in 1968, Richard M. Nixon was elected as the thirty-seventh president of the United States. He was praised by many for his comeback after previously losing an election and seemed to be an admirable man. While in office, Nixon made many achievements and followed through with all of his promises made during his campaign. For the first time in what seemed like forever, the American people had finally elected a leader who seemed unquestionably trustworthy – or so they thought. Unfortunately, shortly after Nixon was elected to his second term of presidency in 1972, the Watergate Scandal changed America forever by creating a sense of mistrust toward the government for the American people because of The Nixon Administration’s actions.
Alison will need to take the coaching approach which is a high directive and high supportive behavior. Involving John in the decision making process and seeking out his input will encourage and motivate him to commit more to the project. Alison will also need to provide the support he needs, such as resources to help John succeed in his new role with the team. Motivation and praise will also help John build his confidence.
At one part in Act 4 he signs the paper but refuses to show anybody he signed. He did this because all though he would rather die for the truth, he knew his sons would be orphans and have no father. Also his wife Elizabeth was pregnant and it just made his death sentence worse. John felt even if he did lie and lived, his sons would be forever ashamed of him.
John was in the lake and speaking praise the Devil then Hale said “I denounce these proceedings, I quit this court! He slams the door to the outside behind him.”(Miller 120). If Hale had stayed and fought for John and all the other innocent people then maybe John would not have been convicted. If John was never arrested, then he never would have been accused and hanged. Proctor was fed up with the court so he went crazy and “Proctor, laughs insanely, then: A fire, a fire is burning! I hear the boot of Lucifer, I see his filthy face! And it is my face, and yours, Danforth! For them that quail to bring men out of ignorance, as I have quailed, and as you quail now when you know in all your black hearts that this be fraud - God damns our kind especially, and we will burn, we will burn together!”(Miller 119). Proctor is saying that Hale and the rest of the court will burn in hell with him for not being fair in their trials and for hanging all the innocent people. Hale was the only person who was certain this was all a hoax and he basically left John and all the other upright people to die. Hale leaving shows that he is a selfish person and only cares about himself and his
Throughout the course of United States History power has swung back and forth between Congress and the Executive. Historically, some presidents have attempted to limit the power of the executive while others have used their time in office to increase this power. I want to make it clear that I am not talking about the power of the federal government relative to state governments but rather the power of the executive relative to Congress. I would like to take this time to analyze two presidents who I think have had a major impact on this power swing. These two men are Abraham Lincoln and Richard Nixon, and although it may seem unorthodox to compare presidents of such vastly different areas, I believe each man's importance to the topic at hand
What kind of person commits three major violations of the national law and gets away with it? Well that person is Nixon. President Richard Nixon was one of the most famous presidents in the United States. He was mainly renowned for his huge role in the Watergate scandal. The Watergate scandal was important because Nixon and his cabinet arranged to get people to spy on the Democratic National Committee in the Watergate building. After it became clear Nixon was responsible, he manages to resign before he was going to be impeached. President Nixon was involved with the Watergate scandal and should be sentenced to jail because he organized it, which then got leaked out and finally led to his resignation.
