"xxvii –
alright, I just have to say this. it is.... SO funny to me... that after 2 pages explaining all the ways other people have screwed up factoids, numbers, names, in their watergate books.......
and then the very first thing in the prologue. is an incorrect date.
amazing. no notes. perfect.
anyway, june 13, 1971 was a sunday, not a saturday, and tricia nixon got married on the 12th" — Mar 09, 2026 06:17PM

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
