Listen to the Podcast"The importance of Watergate is not the bugging of telephones, it is the massive assault on the system – eliminating the field of contenders and subverting the system.

The ideas expressed in City Club forums are those of the speakers, and not of the City Club, Ideastream Public Media, or their sponsors.
