Will, the tapes is not what sunk Nixon. Even without that 18 minutes, the 'accident' nobody ever believed, the case against him was beyond a doubt, substantiated by testimony. Brings back a memory...I wanted him out so bad, but when my 19" TV interrupted for his speech on that day, I knew he was quitting...and I left the room. I listened from another room, but just couldn't watch his disgrace.
He probably could have had a job on Fox, like his gang that did time, but he retired. Nixon was a good example of one who did both good and bad. He did some marvelous things as President, and then blew it. Ford was correct to pardon him, even if it did get Dems shorts in a wad.
